Geirangerfjord

GeirangerfjordLocated in western Norway, it is a branch extending from the main fjord into the mountains, with a total length of approx. 15 km. The fjord was formed by Quaternary glacial erosion, with steep cliffs on both sides rising up to 1,400 m from sea level. Mountain peaks are generally over 1,500 m high, while the water depth extends to 500 m, creating a distinct vertical drop. The cliffs on both sides rise almost vertically from the water, with abandoned mountain farms hanging halfway up the cliff faces. The fjord water glows with a blue-green hue due to glacial meltwater. The landscapes of the kingdom in the animated film *Frozen* were inspired by the fjord scenery in this area, making it a highly recognizable destination among Norway's fjord landscapes.
