Ofotfjord or Ufuohttácode: sme promoted to code: se ) is a fjord in Nordland county, Norway. It is an inlet of the Norwegian Sea, located about 200 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle. The 78-kilometre long Ofotfjord is Norway's 12th longest fjord and it is also the 18th deepest, with a maximum depth of 553 metres . In the English language and in many historical documents, this fjord is often referred to as the Narvik Fjord because the town of Narvik is located on the inner shores of the fjord, but this is not an official name of the fjord.
The fjord is surrounded by mountains, some reaching 1,500 metres , and even 1,700 metres in Skjomen, where the Frostisen glacier can be seen. The only large lowland area is on parts of the northern shore, around Harstad/Narvik Airport, Evenes, although there are smaller areas near the fjord and in narrow valleys .
