Reisafjorden (Norwegian), Ráisavuotna (Northern Sami), or Raisinvuono (Kven) is a fjord in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. It is located mostly in Nordreisa Municipality (with very small portions of the fjord in Kvænangen and Skjervøy municipalities). The 30-kilometre (19 mi) long fjord is an arm off the main Kvænangen fjord. The fjord is fed by the river Reisaelva which flows through the 80-kilometre (50 mi) long Reisadalen valley which starts inside Reisa National Park. The villages of Storslett and Sørkjosen are both located along the southern shore of the fjord. The European route E06 highway runs along the shore of the inner part of the fjord.[1]
