Geiranger Fjord


The waterfall called "The Bride's Veil" in the Geiranger Fjord.

This fjord along with Nærøyfjord is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.  They are among the longest and deepest fjords in the world and outstandingly beautiful.  Cards rarely do justice to the subject they show so I can only imagine what this place must be like in real life.  It's yet another of the places I'd really love to see for myself.

It makes a refreshing change to see a natural site listed in this way.

  2. How unbelievable. I was privileged to sail through the fiords of New Zealand and to see Mitre Peak which was so spectacular...and I also stayed overnight on the Argentinian side of Iguazu Falls which were so massive and breathtaking. This world is indeed full of majestic sites and sights!
