Narvik

Narvik occupies a mountainside position on the southern shore of Ofotfjorden in Nordland. The town developed around an ice-free port that ships iron ore brought from northern Sweden on the Ofoten Line, giving this far-north community an international industrial role. Steep terrain rises directly behind the waterfront, while the fjord extends west towards the Norwegian Sea. Narvik’s wartime history remains central to its identity: fighting during the 1940 Battle of Narvik was closely tied to control of the iron-ore route. The Narvik War and Peace Centre examines the conflict and its civilian consequences. Browse additional webcams from Nordland to extend your view of Ofotfjorden and the Narvik area.
