Skjerstadfjorden, Coastal fjord in Fauske and Bodø Municipality, Norway.

The Skjerstadfjord extends 40 kilometers from Saltfjorden, forming a deep water passage between steep mountain slopes in northern Norway.

The fjord waters have supported maritime trade routes since the Viking Age, connecting inland settlements with coastal communities through natural waterways.

Local fishing communities along the fjord maintain traditional methods of catching cod and herring during seasonal migrations through these waters.

The European route E06 highway and Nordland Line railway run along the eastern shore, providing transportation access to settlements around the fjord.

The fjord connects to Saltfjorden through the Saltstraumen strait, where water speeds reach 37 kilometers per hour during tidal exchanges.
