Rock scalers were tasked with releasing loose rocks along the towering cliffs of a fjord in Lofoten, Norway.
Rather than wait for the rocks to fall themselves at an unpredictable time, scalers will manually release them in a somewhat controlled environment.
We can assume that the road shown in the video has been closed for the safety of everybody in the area.

“Rock scaling is generally defined as the removal of loose rock from a slope using hand tools, small explosive charges, pry bars, and other mechanical methods.
It may be done as an isolated task to prevent small rocks and debris that have been loosened by weather from falling on roadways.”
