- Jøssingfjord is a fjord located within the municipality of Sokndal in south-western Norway. The fjord is known as the location of the Altmark Incident, where, during World War II, on February 16 1940, the British destroyer Cossack managed to free prisoners taken by the German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee from the German tanker Altmark. During the war, the term Jøssing came to mean a Norwegian patriot, the opposite of a Quisling (or traitor). The origin of this term is ironic: the Norwegian collaborator government tried to neutralize their nickname Quislings by using the Jøssingfjord event to coin a derogatory term Jøssing, referring to anti-nazis. This attempt backfired. As a consequence, the most famous illegal Norwegian newspaper got its name from the same incident: The Jøssingpost (Jøssingposten).
- Jøssingfjorden er en fjord i Sokndal kommune i Rogaland fylke. Jøssingfjorden er særlig kjent for Altmark-saken i Jøssingfjorden den 16. februar 1940. Innerst i fjorden ligger Nedre Helleren kraftverk. Under annen verdenskrig ble betegnelsen jøssing tatt i bruk for antinazistiske nordmenn; bakgrunnen var Altmark-saken. Jøssingfjorden er også utskipningshavn for bedriften Titania AS som driver med gruve (dagbrudd) og renseanlegg for titanmalm. Fjorden er omgitt av bratte fjellsider, og ender i en stor steinur, som var en stor utfordring for veibyggerne da nåværende riksvei 44 skulle bygges. Veien forbi ura og opp og inne i en loddrett fjellside på nordsiden av fjorden er fortsatt en turistattraksjon langs Nordsjøruten. Fjellsiden stopper forøvrig ca. 8 meter før den møter bakken nede ved fjorden, og danner en stor heller. I dag ligger det to små hus der, med bosetning til begynnelsen av 1900-tallet.
