Ofotfjorden, Fjord in Nordland county, Norway.
Ofotfjorden extends 78 kilometers from the Norwegian Sea into the interior, reaching depths of 553 meters between steep mountain slopes.
The fjord contains multiple World War II shipwrecks from the Battles of Narvik, including the German destroyer Georg Thiele near Rombak railway station.
Northern Sami people named this water body Ufuohttá, while Norse settlers established fishing communities along its shores over many centuries.
The waterway connects several municipalities including Tjeldsund, Evenes, and Narvik, serving as a transportation route for commercial vessels and passenger ferries.
Marine researchers documented the northernmost presence of lobsters in these waters, which also support populations of herring and orcas throughout the year.
