description Lurefjorden Overview
Lurefjorden is a nearly landlocked fjord in Vestland, western Norway, north of Bergen. It is about 20 kilometres long and 2 kilometres wide, reaches roughly 440 metres in depth, and connects to the North Sea through an inlet about 20 metres deep. The fjord is noted in marine research for its persistent mass occurrence of the helmet jellyfish, Periphylla periphylla, whose retention is linked to the basin's depth, restricted exchange, and low light.
