He shows his love for the sea: King Harald's sarcophagus is a real luxury item

The article discusses the elaborate sarcophagus designed for King Harald V of Norway, who died at age 89. The sarcophagus, made from olivine stone costing 1.7 million Swiss francs, features a ship-like design symbolizing his love for the sea and nature. It is displayed in the royal mausoleum at Akershus Castle alongside other monarchs. The material used, olivine, is environmentally friendly as it absorbs CO2 and originates from the region where Queen Sonja often hiked. The sarcophagus includes royal symbols such as the crown, sword, scepter, and apple, with decorative elements matching the green color palette of the olivine.
