Isfjorden, Fjord in Rauma Municipality, Norway

The Isfjorden extends 6.5 kilometers from Åndalsnes to the village of Isfjorden, reaching depths of 100 meters and bordered by 900-meter mountains.

In 1612, Scottish mercenaries used Isfjorden as a landing point during the Kalmark war to join Swedish forces.

The surrounding region developed into a center for Norwegian clothing manufacturing, with multiple factories operating throughout the twentieth century.

The fjord connects to numerous hiking trails leading to mountain peaks such as Nyseterskarven at 790 meters and Breivik at 900 meters.

Rivers Isa and Glutra converge at the fjord's eastern end, creating productive salmon fishing waters near the village of Isfjorden.
