Lifjorden, Fjord in Nordland, Norway

Lifjorden stretches between Sortland and Øksnes municipalities, featuring deep waters surrounded by mountains and coastal landscapes at 68 degrees north latitude.

The geological formation of Lifjorden occurred during the last ice age when glaciers carved through the mountain ranges of northern Norway.

Local fishing communities have maintained traditional Norwegian coastal practices along Lifjorden's shores, connecting multiple small settlements through maritime routes.

Visitors can access marked hiking trails from Lekva, with the routes to Lihesten summit taking approximately three hours to complete.

The fjord encompasses Halmøya island and provides views of Kvalkvanntotinden mountain, while maintaining a subarctic climate throughout the year.
