Bømlafjorden (English: Bømla Fjord)[1] [2] [3] is a fjord in Vestland county, Norway. The fjord is the outer-most part of the Hardangerfjord, running between the island of Bømlo (in Bømlo Municipality) and the mainland (Sveio Municipality). The Bømlafjord Tunnel crosses under Bømlafjorden.
King Magnus IV of Sweden and Norway drowned in a shipwreck in the fjord in 1374.
On February 21, 1945, the vessel D/S Austri was attacked by British aircraft and sunk in the fjord. The passengers included German military personnel, prisoners of war, and civilian passengers,[4] among them the judge and newspaperman Gerhard Jynge.[5] [6]
