There are also many other uninhabited smaller islands and skerries surrounding the main islands. Innerstøtt and Svenningen are inhabited and they are connected to each other by bridges. There were 27 residents in Støttvær in 2017. There is a car ferry from Innerstøtt to the mainland village of Ørnes. The two inhabited islands are also referred to as the village of Støtt.[1]
