Situated about 23-25 metres above the current sea level and next to the Alta Rock Art walkway, the Bergbukten 1 panel is one the largest panels in the Hjemmeluft site.
The carvings were made between 6000 and 7000 years ago and feature several complex scenes, including one of the world’s oldest known depictions of a hunting fence (also depicted in Kåfjord 1). Depictions of reindeer behind fences indicate large cooperative hunting of these animals.
The largest collection of fringe-figures in Alta is also found here.
