Vågsfjorden, Marine strait in Harstad, Norway
The Vågsfjord extends 46 kilometers between Hinnøya and Senja islands, reaching a maximum width of 20 kilometers in Troms County, Norway.
The strategic location of Vågsfjord established it as a vital transportation route connecting the Andfjord and Tranøyfjord to the Astafjord and Tjeldsund throughout centuries.
Communities around Vågsfjord maintain traditional fishing practices, with numerous coastal settlements contributing to Norway's maritime heritage through generations.
Multiple municipalities border Vågsfjord, including Harstad, Senja, Dyrøy, Ibestad, and Tjeldsund, each providing different access points to the water.
Several islands dot the fjord's waters, with Grytøya, Sandsøya, and Bjarkøya on the western side, while Rolla and Andørja occupy the eastern portion.
