Kvænangen, Fjord in Troms county, Norway
The fjord extends 72 kilometers from the Norwegian Sea to Kvænangsbotn, with multiple branches including Reisafjorden and Badderfjorden on each side.
The fjord area contains geological evidence of the last Ice Age, with polished coastal rocks and multiple ancient shorelines visible on Spildra island.
The name Kvænangen reflects different linguistic influences, appearing as Navuotna in Sami language and historically documented as Quenangen in various texts.
European route E06 highway crosses the fjord via the Sørstraumen Bridge, where the water narrows to 350 meters near the village of Sekkemo.
The waters host diverse marine life, including harbor porpoises, dolphins, minke whales, sperm whales, and seasonal visits from humpback whales.
