Hafrsfjord, Fjord in Stavanger, Norway.
The Hafrsfjord extends for 9 kilometers between Stavanger and Sola municipalities, featuring narrow entrances and deeper inner sections along the Norwegian coast point.
The naval Battle of Hafrsfjord in 872 AD marked a turning point when King Harald Fairhair defeated opposing forces, leading to Norway's unification.
Three bronze swords planted in rock at Møllebukta commemorate the Battle of Hafrsfjord through a monument called Sverd i Fjell created in 1983.
The Hafrsfjord Bridge connects Kvernevik in Stavanger to Jåsund in Tananger, providing a crucial transportation link across the water for residents and visitors.
The name Hafrsfjord derives from Old Norse 'hafr' meaning male goat, referencing a dangerous skerry at the fjord's entrance that posed risks to ships.
