Geiranger Fjord, Norway

The Geiranger Fjord  is a fjord in the Sunnmore region of More og Romsdal county in Norway. It is in the municipality of Stranda. It is a 15-kilometre (9.3 mi) long branch of the Storfjord (Great Fjord).




Given the stunning image above, it’s plain to see why Geirgangerfjord is considered a treasure by Norwegians and tourists alike. In 2005, the nordic gem was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites; though its status is questioned as some propose placing power lines across the 9.3-mile long geographical feature.
