Foldfjord (English) or Foldfjorden (Norwegian)[2] is a fjord on the island of Ertvågsøya in Aure Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.[3][4] The fjord's natural surroundings support a large wildlife population, including many red deer.[citation needed] County Road 682 runs along the east shore of the fjord. At the north end, County Road 680 crosses the fjord at a narrow point near Espset.[4] The fjord flows north where it joins Gjerdavika, an arm off Edøyfjorden.
