Balsfjorden, Fjord in Balsfjord and Tromsø Municipalities, Norway
Balsfjorden extends for 57 kilometers through the municipalities of Balsfjord and Tromsø, with widths varying between 2 and 7 kilometers.
The fjord has supported local communities for generations, serving as a vital route for transportation and fishing activities since the establishment of settlements.
The waters and surrounding lands of Balsfjorden hold importance for Sámi communities who maintain their traditional fishing and agricultural practices.
European routes E8 and E6 provide access to the fjord, with E8 running along the eastern shore and E6 connecting at the southern end.
The fjord branches from Tromsøysundet strait south of Tromsø city, creating a natural waterway that connects multiple coastal settlements.
