Rypefjord

Rypefjord is a small settlement located in Finnmark county, northern Norway. Situated on the shore of the Varangerfjord, it lies within the municipality of Vadsø. The settlement is primarily known for its traditional fishing and proximity to the Barents Sea. Due to its northern location, Rypefjord experiences long winters and short summers, and is influenced by the Arctic climate. The population is small, and the community is largely dependent on resources from the sea. Access to Rypefjord is generally via road from Vadsø, and it plays a role in the local fishing industry of the Varanger Peninsula.
