Tafjorden

Tafjorden is an inner branch of the Norddalsfjorden/Storfjorden in Fjord Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.

It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site West Norwegian Fjords.

The small village of Tafjord is located at the end of the 12-kilometre (7.5 mi) long Tafjorden.

When Olaf II of Norway fled up the Storfjorden to escape the forces of Canute the Great, he and his men journeyed up the fjord until he passed through the Norddalsfjorden and reached the Tafjorden.

The rock landed in the Tafjorden which created a local tsunami which killed 40 people living on the shore of the fjord.
