Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox kommune
Шаблон:Native name or Шаблон:Native name[1] is a municipality located in Nordland county, Norway. It is part of the traditional district of Salten. The administrative centre of the municipality is the town of Fauske. Some of the villages in Fauske include Nystad, Venset, Straumsnes, and Sulitjelma.
The municipality borders Sweden in the east and the municipalities of Sørfold to the north, Bodø to the west, and Saltdal to the southeast. The town is located on the northern shore of Skjerstad Fjord.
The Шаблон:Convert municipality is the 90th largest by area out of the 356 municipalities in Norway. Fauske is the 118th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 9,572. The municipality's population density is Шаблон:Convert and its population has increased by 0.6% over the previous 10-year period.[2][3]
General information
The municipality was established on 1 January 1905 when the municipality of Skjerstad was divided into Skjerstad (population: 1,709) in the west and Fauske (population: 4,646) in the east. The municipal borders haven't changed since that time. In 1998, the municipality declared township for its administrative centre.[4]
Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Fauske farm (Шаблон:Lang-non) since the first Fauske Church was built there in 1867. The name is the plural form of Шаблон:Lang which means "old and rotten tree".[5]
On 15 April 2016, the national government approved a resolution to add a co-equal, official Sami language name for the municipality: Шаблон:Lang.[6] The spelling of the Sami language name changes depending on how it is used. It is called Шаблон:Lang when it is spelled alone, but it is Шаблон:Lang when using the Sami language equivalent to "Fauske municipality".[7]
Coat of arms
The coat of arms was granted on 22 July 1988. The official blazon is "Argent, a reef knot gules" (Шаблон:Lang-no). This means the arms have a field (background) that has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The charge is a red reef knot. It was chosen to represent Fauske as a center of commerce and transportation for the region. The arms were designed by Stein Davidsen.[8][9][10][11]
Churches
The Church of Norway has three parishes (Шаблон:Lang) within the municipality of Fauske. It is part of the Salten prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland.

Nature
There are two large glaciers in Fauske: Blåmannsisen and the Sulitjelma Glacier; covering about 14% of the municipality. The highest mountain is Suliskongen at Шаблон:Convert above sea level. There are many lakes in the municipality, such as Blåmannsisvatnet, Kjelvatnet, Låmivatnet, Langvatnet, Muorkkejávrre, Nedrevatnet, Øvrevatnet, and Vuolep Sårjåsjávrre.
Junkerdal National Park and Sjunkhatten National Park are partly located in Fauske.[12] Sulitjelma, located Шаблон:Convert by road east of Fauske, is a good starting point for hiking in the mountains and hikes to the glaciers. There are several DNT lodges in this area.
There are many nature reserves in the municipality, such as Veten nature reserve with calcareous pine forest and a rich understory[13] and Fauskeeidet wetland area with rich bird life and observation tower.[14]
There are several caves in the municipality. The fairly easy accessible Svarthamarhola (Svarthamar cave) is one of the largest caves in northern Europe, also hosting one of the world's most northerly bat colonies.[15]
Climate
Fauske is located inside the Arctic circle and has 24 hours of daylight from early May to the beginning of August, with midnight sun from the beginning of June to the second week of July. The area nearly has polar night for part of December because it has sunrise at 11 am and sunset before noon. Average 24-hour temperatures in Fauske is below freezing from mid-November to the last part of March, but the ice-free Skjerstad Fjord moderates winter temperatures. Summer starts in June with moderate summer temperatures lasting until early September.
Precipitation is heaviest from September to December (usually as snow in December); average annual precipitation is Шаблон:Convert. Daytime temperatures are usually significantly warmer than the 24-hr average from March to September, while there is very little diurnal temperature variation from November to early February as the sun is very low or below the horizon all day. However, temperatures varies considerably with the weather; there might be cool westerly winds with temperatures of Шаблон:Convert and rain both night and day in July, and the next day might be sunny with daytime temperature reaching Шаблон:Convert. Southwesterly winds can bring thaws anytime in winter, but not in the mountains, which usually get large amounts of snow in winter—the main reason for the large glaciers and the hydropower in the area.
Government

Economy
Шаблон:Stack Шаблон:Stack Manufacturing, mining and working in quarries employs 9% of the work force (as of 2021).[18] Several marble quarries are located in the municipality. The marble is exported to many countries, where it can be observed in many monumental buildings, among them the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. There are also dolomite quarries in Fauske, as well as some agriculture. Case work for permission for renewed mining in Sulitjelma, has been going on since the early 2010s; mining there was discontinued in 1991.[19]
Salten Kraftsamband and Fauske Lysverk are important employers in Fauske. The town is a commercial centre for parts of the inland areas of Salten, and has hotel and camping facilities. FK Fauske/Sprint is the local soccer team. Historically, mining in Sulitjelma was very important.
Transportation
The Nordland Line passes through the municipality, reaching Bodø west of Fauske. Travellers going further north usually leave the train in Fauske, and travel by express bus to Narvik or further, using European route E6 which goes through the center of Fauske. The E6 from Mo i Rana north to Fauske crosses over the Saltfjellet mountains, and the E6 further north to Narvik also goes through very rugged terrain; these are among the most scenic drives in Norway, although there are many tunnels in the Sørfold area. The Norwegian national road Rv 80 to Bodø, about Шаблон:Convert to the west, departs from E6 in the centre of Fauske.
The Norwegian County Road 830 runs from the town of Fauske to the east to the village of Sulitjelma. The road passes through several tunnels: Grønnlifjell Tunnel, Hårskolten Tunnel, Sjønståfjell Tunnel, and Stokkviknakken Tunnel. The road follows the old Sulitjelma Line railroad.
