Vestfjord is a Norwegian sea area, the name literally meaning "the West fjord" called a fjord, which could be best described as a firth or an open bight of sea, between the Lofotenarchipelago and the Salten district of mainland Norway. It is located northwest of the town of Bodø. The term fjord (from the old Norsefjördr meaning firth or inlet) is used more generally for bodies of water in the western Scandinavian languages than the more narrow usage assigned in English.
