Billefjorden, Arctic fjord in Svalbard, Norway
Billefjorden extends 30 kilometers in length and ranges from 5 to 8 kilometers in width between Dickson Land and Bünsow Land territories.
The fjord received its name from Dutch whaler Cornelius Claeszoon Bille, who conducted whaling operations in these waters during 1675.
The former Russian coal mining settlement of Pyramiden, established on the northwestern shore, stands as a preserved example of Soviet industrial development.
Boat tours from Longyearbyen operate between mid-February and late May, requiring warm clothing and advance reservations for groups of eight or more passengers.
The Billefjorden Fault Zone separates Svalbard's northeastern and northwestern terranes, revealing geological formations through tectonic activities.
