Narvikfjorden

Narvikfjorden is a fjord on the coast of Nordland county in Norway. It forms a northern arm of the larger Ofotfjord and lies close to the town of Narvik. The inner part of the fjord is where the urban center and harbor facilities of Narvik are situated, while the outer reaches extend toward the open sea. The landscape around Narvikfjorden is alpine and rugged, with steep mountains rising from the water and forests along the shore.

The fjord functions as a sheltered waterway used by fishing boats and coastal vessels. The Port of Narvik, located on the adjacent Ofotfjord, serves as a major iron ore export hub and relies on shipping routes through the Narvikfjorden area for access and operations. The region is also a destination for visitors seeking scenic coastal landscapes and outdoor recreation in all seasons.

Historically, Narvikfjorden and its surroundings are notable for the Battles of Narvik in 1940 during World War II, when Allied and German forces contested control of the harbor and surrounding fjord. The memory of these events remains part of local history and is reflected in museums and commemorations in the Narvik area. See also Ofotfjord and Narvik.
