Hemnfjorden
The Hemnfjorden is a fjord in Trøndelag county in Norway. The 25-kilometre (16 mi) long fjord forms the boundary between the municipalities of Heim, Hitra, and Orkland. The fjord begins at the village of Kyrksæterøra at the mouths of the rivers Søo and Haugaelva. The fjord flows northwards until it joins the Trondheimsleia. The Åstfjorden and Snillfjorden are smaller fjords which branch off the main Hemnfjorden to the east into Orkland municipality. The deepest point in the fjord reaches 410 metres (1,350 ft) below sea level.
