Efjorden, Fjord in Narvik Municipality, Norway.

Efjorden extends 35 kilometers southeastward from Ofotfjorden, featuring steep mountains and deep waters suitable for marine vessels.

The fjord has served as a major maritime route since ancient times, connecting northern Norwegian communities and facilitating trade through generations.

Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods in Efjorden, reflecting both Norwegian and Sami influences in the region.

Three bridges of the E6 highway cross Efjorden: the Sørstraumen, Mellomstraumen, and Kjerringvikstraumen, connecting the surrounding municipalities.

The waters of Efjorden reach substantial depths beneath the mountain formations of Eidetindene, creating a distinct geological formation.
