Kjøfjord is a fjord located in Norway, specifically within the Sør-Varanger municipality in Finnmark County, now part of Troms og Finnmark County.
Kjøfjord is situated in the northeastern part of Norway, west of the town of Kirkenes. It is part of the larger Varangerfjord system, which is one of the significant fjord complexes in the region.
The fjord stretches for several kilometers inland from the Barents Sea, although the exact length can vary depending on the definition of its boundaries.
Kjøfjord is characterized by steep, rugged terrain on both sides, with mountains and cliffs that drop into the fjord. The area around the fjord is sparsely populated, with small settlements and farms primarily on the eastern side.
The fjord is connected to the larger Varangerfjord, a major fjord in the region. Kjøfjord itself is considered a side arm or branch of Varangerfjord.
Like many fjords in Norway, Kjøfjord is known for its natural beauty, offering opportunities for fishing, boating, and experiencing the pristine Arctic environment.
The climate in the region is typically Arctic, with cold winters and cool summers, influenced by the proximity to the Barents Sea.
