Oslofjord, Bay in southeastern Norway

The Oslofjord stretches 150 kilometers from Langesund to Oslo, containing numerous islands and dividing into inner and outer sections along the coastline.

During the 1940 German invasion, the Oscarsborg fortress near Drøbak sank the German cruiser Blücher, enabling the royal family's evacuation.

Norwegian painter Edvard Munch created multiple artworks depicting the Oslofjord from his studio in Åsgårdstrand, including The Scream and Girls on the Pier.

Ferry services connect various islands within the fjord, with regular departures from Oslo to destinations like Hovedøya, Lindøya, and Nakholmen.

The Oslofjordtunnelen, a 7.6-kilometer underwater tunnel completed in 2000, connects Drøbak and Storsand beneath the fjord waters.
