Jakobselva (Sør-Varanger)

For other uses, see Jakobselva.

The Jakobselva (meaning Jacob's River, Russian: Ворьема, Finnish: Vuoremijoki) is a river on the border of Sør-Varanger municipality in Finnmark, Norway, and Murmansk Oblast in Russia.

The river is also known as the Grense Jakobselv River. It discharges into the Barents Sea.

This river is known as a superb salmon fishing river, but where the river forms the border only Norwegian citizens and long-term residents of Norway are permitted to fish, and then only on the Norwegian side of the river.

The Jakobselva lends its name to the small settlement of Grense Jakobselv, at the mouth of the river.
