About Geirangerfjord

Geirangerfjord is a 15-kilometre arm of deep emerald water hemmed in by kilometre-high cliffs, waterfalls and abandoned mountain farms in the Sunnmøre region of western Norway. Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list together with Nærøyfjord in 2005, it is best experienced from the deck of the Hellesylt–Geiranger ferry, which doubles as a sightseeing cruise past the Seven Sisters falls.
