Skjomen (Norwegian) or Skievvá (Northern Sami)[1] is a small fjord that branches off from the main Ofotfjorden in Narvik Municipality in Nordland county, Norway.
It is located in the Ofoten district in Northern Norway, just south of the town of Narvik.
The rock carvings are believed to have been made by the mesolithic Fosna-Hensbacka culture dating from around 5000 BC.
[5] For a short period, the German battleship Tirpitz hid beneath the extremely steep mountains surrounding the fjord to avoid attack by Allied warplanes during World War II.
Frostisen covers an area of about 25 square kilometres (9.7 sq mi) and is located at an elevation of 1,710 to 840 metres (5,610 to 2,760 ft) above sea level.
