Sjonbotn

Sjonbotn[2] is a village in Rana Municipality in Nordland county, Norway.

It is located along Norwegian County Road 17 at the eastern end of the Sjona fjord, about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) north of the villages of Utskarpen and Myklebustad.

The small, rural village area sits at the end of the fjord.

There is a large marshy river delta at the shoreline that is known as Mæla,[3] a name that is also used for the village area as well.

The district surrounding the inner part of the Sjona fjord originally belonged to Nesna Municipality.
