Herjangen - Hearjjak

Among the settlements of Nordland, Herjangen stands out for its quiet shore on Ofotfjorden, amid the steep, indented fjord country surrounding Narvik. It belongs to Narvik Municipality in northern Norway, where roads and coastal communities follow narrow strips between water and mountain terrain. The nearby town of Narvik developed as the Norwegian terminus of the Iron Ore Line, linking the Swedish mining district of Kiruna with an ice-free port; that transport history remains central to the wider area’s identity. Herjangen is a useful point from which to understand the less urban shores around one of northern Norway’s major fjords.
