Austertana (Norwegian), Juovlavuotna (Northern Sami), or Jouluvuono (Kven)[2] is a village in Deatnu-Tana Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. The village is located along one of the inner bays of the large Tanafjorden, east of Rustefjelbma in northeastern Tana. The village is home to the Austertana Chapel.
