Skjomen, Fjord in Narvik Municipality, Norway.
The Skjomen fjord stretches 25 kilometers in length with a width of 2.5 kilometers, bordered by steep mountains along its clear waters.
During World War II, the German battleship Tirpitz used the fjord's steep mountains as protection against Allied airstrikes in the northern waters.
The indigenous Sami people established seasonal migration patterns between mountain areas and coastal regions, naming the fjord Skievva, meaning sea.
The European route E6 highway crosses the fjord via the 711-meter Skjomen Bridge, connecting travelers to surrounding settlements and recreational areas.
The southern shore contains 80 rock carvings from 5000 BC, depicting reindeer, whales, moose, and human figures from the Fosna-Hensbacka culture.
