Ranfjord, Arctic fjord in Helgeland district, Norway.

The Ranfjord extends 68 kilometers through six municipalities of Nordland county, reaching depths of 525 meters in its crystalline waters.

The fjord region holds traces of ancient settlements where communities developed maritime activities and established crucial northern trade routes over centuries.

The fjord connects multiple Norwegian communities, preserving traditional fishing practices and serving as a center for maritime commerce and local traditions.

Electric ferries and the E6 highway provide access to the fjord, with numerous stops in coastal towns offering fresh seafood and accommodation options.

The Ranelva and Røssåga rivers converge with the fjord, creating a natural system where glacial waters meet the Norwegian Sea.
