Overview
Skorpa is an uninhabited island in Herøy Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county Norway. Skorpa lies directly west of the island of Nerlandsøya, across the Skorpesund, about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) west of the town of Fosnavåg. The island of Gurskøya lies 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to the southeast, across the Herøyfjorden. The Svinøy Lighthouse is located 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) to the east. The terrain is steep and rugged, the highest point being the mountain, Keipen, at a height of 431 metres (1,414 ft) above sea level. There are no longer any permanent residents on the island, and today Skorpa is best known for vacation cottages and the herd of wild goats that live there. The farm Skorpa has registration number 1 for Herøy Municipality in the Norwegian land registry.
