Malangen, Coastal fjord in Tromsø Municipality, Norway.
The Malangen fjord extends 60 kilometers through multiple municipalities, reaching a maximum width of 7 kilometers between Senja and Kvaløya islands.
During the Middle Ages, Malangen marked the northern limit of Norwegian settlement, and in 1871, it became the namesake of Malangen Municipality.
The name Malangen comes from Old Norse words 'mál' meaning bag and 'angr' meaning inlet, reflecting the fjord's geographical shape.
The fjord branches into four smaller waterways at Nordfjordbotn: Nordfjorden, Aursfjorden, Målselvfjorden, and Rossfjorden, each offering different water activities.
From Hekkingen Lighthouse on Senja island, visitors can observe the Målselva river flowing into Målselvfjorden, creating distinct water patterns.
