Geirnger Fjord, one of the most beatiful in southern whole aspect of the fjord with its mountains and steep cliffs.

---

Setting out down Geiranger fjord on the boat one leaves behind two passenger cruise ships. From here can be seen the whole aspect of the fjord with its mountains and steep cliffs, which to quote from Henrik Ibsen's mother, 'rise out from the sea in the steepest and most preposterous hillsides in the west coast. It is very narrow and has no habitable shore area, for the precipitous heights rise in sheer and rugged strata almost straight out of the water,.....' Geiranger is also a World Heritage site founded by the United Nations.
