Storfjord (Norwegian), Omasvuotna (Northern Sami; pronounced [ˈomasˌvuo̯tna]), or Omasvuono (Kven)[5][6] is a municipality in Troms county, Norway.

Then on 1 January 1992, one uninhabited farm in the Nordnes area of Lyngen Municipality was transferred to Storfjord.

[10] On 1 January 2020, the municipality became part of the newly formed Troms og Finnmark county.

The official blazon is "Gules, three poppies Or in pall" (Norwegian: I rødt tre gull valmuer stilt i trepass).

The poppies have a tincture of Or which means they are commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used.

In the 19th century, Laestadianism, a puritan religious movement, obtained a strong position.

The market of Skibotn was traditionally a meeting point between ethnic groups, where Sami, Finns, and Norwegians met to trade.

Treriksrøysa is a popular hiking destination; there are no fences, so at this location one step forward is all that is needed to get from one country to another.

[1] The Skibotn valley has a microclimate with little cloud cover by Norwegian standards, and annual precipitation down to 300 to 500 millimetres (12 to 20 in).

This is due to the high mountains in the Lyngen Alps to the west, placing Skibotn valley in a rain shadow.
