Ranfjord, Arctic fjord in Helgeland district, Norway.
Ranfjord is a fjord in the Helgeland region that stretches 68 kilometers through six municipalities in Nordland county. The waterway reaches depths over 500 meters and is bordered by mountains that rise steeply from its clear waters.
People settled along these shores in ancient times and developed fishing as their way of life. Over centuries, the region grew into an important trading hub for commerce in the far north.
The fjord links several Norwegian communities where fishing and maritime work remain central to daily life. Visitors can observe traditional practices and see how trade continues to shape local identity today.
The E6 highway runs along the fjord with numerous stops in coastal towns where travelers can base themselves for visits. These towns offer accommodation and restaurants serving fresh seafood caught locally.
Two rivers, the Ranelva and the Røssåga, meet in the fjord and carry glacial water into the sea. This meeting creates visible patterns in the water that change with the seasons and weather.
