A series of avalanches in Norway's far north has claimed the lives of four people, police said.

In the most deadly incident, a house and barn were swept into the sea on the island of Reinøya.

Two people were confirmed killed and 140 goats were in the barn at the time, according to the authorities.

Two tourists were killed in two other avalanches. Both are believed to be foreigners, although their nationalities are not yet known.
