Åkervika is a 424-hectare (1,050-acre)[1] wetland nature reserve and Ramsar site in Hamar, Norway. It became Norway's first Ramsar site in 1974.[2] Vikingskipet, the speed skating venue for the 1994 Winter Olympics, was built in the site, creating controversy.[3] European Route E6 also runs through the site, and the Norwegian Public Roads Administration has plans to expand the road to a four-lane motorway.[2]
