The town with the shortest name in the world

A Town ~ On a promontory where the Lofoten Islands extend into the Westfjords, lies a small town with a single letter (A, pronounced /o:/). It is the terminus of the E10 road in the Lofoten Islands and also has the shortest name in the world! The word A means "river" or "stream" in Norwegian. This small town features old fishermen's huts (Rorbuer), houseboats, Europe's oldest fish oil factory (opened in 1850), and a blacksmith's house to visit! The Lofoten Stockfish Museum is the only stockfish museum in the world.

I went to Lofoten twice, and once my breath froze, but my soul was ignited by the aurora.
