Kåfjord

Among the communities of Troms og Finnmark, Kafjord stands out for its industrial past on the shore of Kåfjord, a branch of Altafjord. This small settlement lies on Norway’s far-northern coast, where the fjord reaches inland beneath broad Arctic skies and steep land rises from the water. Kåfjord was home to the Kåfjord Copper Works, established in 1826; the operation made the area an important 19th-century mining centre in northern Norway. It is also part of Alta municipality, whose Altafjord coast includes the UNESCO-listed Alta rock art. Browse other webcams across Troms og Finnmark to place Kafjord in a wider geographic context.
