Bømlafjorden, Fjord in Vestland county, Norway
Bømlafjorden extends for 30 kilometers between the island of Bømlo and the mainland, forming the outer section of the Hardangerfjord system.
King Magnus IV of Sweden and Norway met his end in 1374 when his vessel succumbed to the waters of Bømlafjorden during a shipwreck.
The waters of Bømlafjorden connect three municipalities - Sveio, Bømlo, and Stord - each maintaining distinct maritime traditions and fishing practices.
The Bømlafjord Tunnel, constructed beneath the fjord, provides a direct transportation route between the mainland and the island communities.
During World War II, the waters of Bømlafjorden witnessed the sinking of D/S Austri following an attack by British aircraft in February 1945.
