Salangselva or Salangsdalselva (Norwegian) or Njuorjoeatnu (Northern Sami)[1] is a river in Troms county, Norway. The 53-kilometre (33 mi) long river runs through Salangen Municipality and Bardu Municipality. The river originates from the lake Isvatnet, flows through the Salangsdalen valley, the waterfall Kistefoss and the lake Øvrevatnet, and empties into the Sagfjorden at the village of Sjøvegan.[2][3]
