Gásluokta - Kjøpsvik

Kjøpsvik sits on Tysfjorden in Nordland, and its fjord-side setting has shaped it into a small community of maritime links and heavy industry. The settlement was the administrative centre of the former municipality of Tysfjord, an area long associated with Sámi and Norwegian coastal life. Norcem’s Kjøpsvik plant, supplied by limestone from the surrounding mountains, has made cement production central to the local economy for more than a century. A ferry route across Tysfjorden connects Kjøpsvik with Drag, showing how water remains a practical route in this rugged part of northern Norway.
