Raftsundet

Raftsundet (Norwegian) or Ráktanuorri (Northern Sami)[1] is a strait in Nordland county, Norway.

The 25-kilometre (16 mi) long strait runs between the islands of Hinnøya and Austvågøya, mostly in Hadsel Municipality, but the southern end is in Vågan Municipality.

The Trollfjorden is a small fjord that branches off the strait to the west and it is a well-known tourist attraction.

The island of Stormolla lies at the southern mouth where the strait joins the Vestfjorden.
