Glomfjord

The landscape around Glomfjord is steep-sided fjord country beneath the Svartisen glacier, which has shaped both the settlement’s compact form and its hydroelectric-based economy. The community stands at the innermost end of Glomfjorden in Meløy, on Nordland’s Helgeland coast, where high mountains rise quickly from salt water. Hydropower drew industry here early in the 20th century, and Glomfjord remains an important centre for process industry, including fertilizer production. Nearby Svartisen, Norway’s second-largest glacier, gives this stretch of coast an alpine character above the Arctic Circle.
