Skálafjørður, Coastal fjord in Eysturoy, Faroe Islands
The Skálafjørður extends 14.5 kilometers through Eysturoy island, reaching depths of 70 meters near Runavík and Søldarfjørður villages.
The southern part of Skálafjørður, formerly called Kongshavn, provided natural shelter for allied submarines during World War II operations.
Multiple villages line both shores of Skálafjørður, creating distinct communities that maintain traditional Faroese fishing and maritime activities.
The Eysturoyartunnilin tunnel, connecting Runavík to Tórshavn, features an underwater roundabout at 72.6 meters below sea level.
The fjord contains two deep points near Runavík and Søldarfjørður, separated by a glacial threshold of 25 meters depth at its entrance.
