Raftøra on Raftsundet between Austvågøya and Hinnøya, Vesterålen, Northern Norway


Raftsundet is a strait in Nordland county, Norway. The 25-kilometre (16 mi) long strait runs between the islands of Hinnøya and Austvågøya, mostly in Hadsel Municipality, but the southern end is in Vågan Municipality. The strait is crossed by the Raftsund Bridge near the northern mouth of the strait. The island of Stormolla lies at the southern mouth where the strait joins the Vestfjorden.
