Trollfjord, Fjord in Hadsel Municipality, Norway
The Trollfjord stretches 2 kilometers through steep mountain walls, with its narrowest point measuring only 100 meters between vertical cliffs rising 1100 meters high.
The Battle of Trollfjord in 1890 marked a conflict between traditional fishermen and industrial fishing vessels, leading to changes in Norwegian fishing regulations.
The fjord name links to Norse mythology, reflecting regional stories of trolls Vågakallen and Hinnøygubben who shaped the landscape according to local tales.
Visitors access the fjord through boat tours departing from Svolvær, with Hurtigruten coastal ferries including the location in their regular northern Norway routes.
Before 1960, a natural waterfall marked the fjord's end point, until its waters were redirected for hydroelectric power generation.
