The Vefsnfjord is a fjord in the Helgeland traditional district of Nordland county, Norway. It is about long, reaching a maximum depth of about . The fjord flows through the municipalities of Alstahaug, Leirfjord, and Vefsn. The fjord begins at Tjøtta, south of the island of Alsten and meets Leirfjord at Sundøy before turning to the south as it proceeds inland to Mosjøen. The outer part of the fjord is also called ''Sørfjord''. Several large rivers run into the Vefsnfjord, including the Vefsna, Fusta, and Drevja. All three of the rivers are traditionally excellent salmon fishing rivers, although they now have been infected with the salmon parasite Gyrodactylus salaris. A German prisoner ship was sunk here by British Aircraft during World War II with major loss of life. A memorial is located on a nearby island. A powerline crosses Vefsnfjord near Overtroan with a 3.236 kilometres long span. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vefsnfjord」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
