Byfjorden, Kristiansand, Norway - a photo on Flickriver

            Kristiansandsfjorden, or Byfjorden, is the fjord outside Kristiansand in Agder. It is about 5.5 nautical miles (10 km) from Vestre havn to the open sea in the Skagerrak south of Oksø and Grønningen lighthouse. Otra, Norway's eighth longest river flows into the Kristiansand Fjord.

The fjord is up to 260 meters deep and the deepest area in the middle of the lease has previously been used for ammunition dumping. On the fjord bottom, especially in the inner areas, there is a lot of pollution from past activities along the beaches. Much of the fjord bottom has in recent years been covered with fillings of rock and sand.

The fjord has two inlets, Østergapet (the gap in dialect) between Oksøy and Grønningen and Vestergapet between Flekkerøy and Møvik / Kroodden. It was previously said that Vestergapet lay between Indre and Ytre Flekkerøy and in the strait between the island and the mainland was the most important port along the Skagerrak coast from around 1550.

Topdalsfjorden is a side arm of the fjord that runs from the mouth of the Topdalselven to Gleodden / Marvika. From the river estuary at Kjevik and Hamresanden and further inland, the name Ålefjærfjorden is used. From Ålefjær to Gleodden it is 5 nautical miles.

In the area by Torsviga and Kongsgårdbukta on Lund between Marvika and Ringvoldåsen / Ringknuten in Topdalsfjorden, a new port facility for Kristiansand is currently being built (2006).
