Eidsfjorden, Fjord system in Vesterålen archipelago, Norway

Eidsfjorden extends 25 kilometers into Langøya island, branching from Vesterålsfjorden and connecting to the Norwegian Sea through multiple smaller channels.

During the late 19th century, Eidsfjorden gained recognition as a prime herring fishing location, with Sildpollen operating Norway's second busiest telegraph station.

Two religious structures, the Indre Eidsfjord Church in Holmstad and Grønning Church, represent the inner and outer communities along the fjord.

Norwegian County Road 820 provides access along the inner shore, while Road 821 branches at Frøskeland toward the Øksnes region.

Mount Reka rises 605 meters above sea level near the fjord, while the western shore maintains traditional houses now used as vacation residences.
