Isfjorden (village)

Isfjorden is a village in Rauma Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.

[1] Isfjorden played an important role in the Battle of Kringen, when Scottish ships, needing a landing spot after sea routes had been blocked by Danish forces, landed there on 20 August 1612.

Historically there was a lot of trade between Isfjorden and the northern county of Nordland.

Shoes and clothing were produced in practically every home, and eventually several factories were established.

This earned Isfjorden the label "the cradle of the Norwegian clothing industry".
