Breivik Massacre Memorial To Cut Headland

A three-and-a-half-metre wide channel will be cut across a headland near the island of Utoya as a memorial to those killed by Anders Behring Breivik.

Visitors will be able to walk down a pathway through the forest, which ends abruptly at the gap.

The names of those who died in the twin attacks will be engraved on the other side of the cut.

Breivik killed eight people in a bomb attack outside a government building in the capital Oslo on July 22, 2011.

Later that day, he killed another 69, most of them teenagers, when he opened fire at a Labour Youth camp on Utoya.

Breivik is serving a 21-year jail sentence

The land removed to create the cut will be transported to Oslo, where it will be used as the foundation for a permanent monument in the Norwegian capital.

The Utoya memorial - called Memory Wound - was conceived by Swedish artist Jonas Dahlberg and was the winner of an open design contest.

A path will lead through the forest, ending abruptly at the gap

Mr Dahlberg said: "The names (of the victims) will be close enough to see and read clearly, yet ultimately out of reach.

"This cut is an acknowledgement of what is forever irreplaceable."

The names of the victims will be out of reach, but fully visible

Breivik is serving a 21-year jail term and is kept away from other prisoners for his own safety.
