Kjerkfjorden, Fjord in Moskenes Municipality, Norway.

Kjerkfjorden extends into the Lofoten archipelago, featuring steep mountain slopes that reach heights of over 800 meters above the water surface.

The fjord formation occurred through extensive glacial erosion during the last ice age, creating deep U-shaped valleys that filled with seawater.

The waters of Kjerkfjorden supported generations of Norwegian fishing communities, establishing a maritime tradition that continues in present times.

Visitors can reach Kjerkfjorden via small boat shuttles departing from Reine, with services operating regularly during the summer season.

The hiking trail from Kjerkfjord to Horseid beach spans 9.2 kilometers through remote terrain, offering views of the Norwegian Sea.
