Beisfjord (Norwegian) or Ušmá (Northern Sami)[3] is a village in Narvik Municipality in Nordland county, Norway.

The village sits in a valley surrounded by steep mountains, with the Lakselva river flowing through it and emptying into the fjord.

[1] Beisfjord was the location of one of the most notorious concentration camps during World War II in Norway.

[4] During one three-week period in July 1942, 311 men died, some from typhus, but most on one day when the German high command ordered all 287 prisoners in the sick quarters to be executed, citing concerns over health risks.

When the remaining 100 prisoners refused to leave the barracks, the Germans doused the place with gasoline and set it on fire.
