Skálafjørður (village)

Skálafjørður (Danish: Skålefjord), also known as Skálabotnur, is a village at the end of the Skálafjørður fjord on the Faroese island of Eysturoy located in Runavík Municipality.

On 11 March 2019 a non-binding referendum on the official name of the village was held.

65% voted in favour of Skálafjørður while 35% chose Skálabotnur.

Because the name Skálafjørður is usually inflected in the dative case and preceded by the preposition í, i.e. í Skálafirði, confusion with the fjord with the same name may be limited.
