Please be respectful of copyright. Unauthorized use is prohibited.: On the island of Andøya, a stream of locals walk and cycle down an unsigned dirt road, buckets in hand. Across the peat-rich moorland, backed by the misty peak of Ørnlitnden, they hunt for the elusive golden cloudberry — known locally as molte or multe.: They grow on single stems just a few centimetres from the ground and are sparsely scattered across the boggy land.

Unauthorized use is prohibited.: Cloudberries hold cultural importance for many communities across the Arctic region. Laila Inga is a reindeer herder and Indigenous Sámi living on the island of Hinnøya, in the Vesterålen region. She collects cloudberries from her own marshland, as the Sami people have done for generations.
