Why the
Fjords of Norway are special
Glaciers slowly carved the Fjords of Norway out of hard-rock
coastal mountains. The resulting narrow fjords are walled in by
incredibly steep cliffs, verdant slopes and snow-capped mountain
tops.
To get a sense of scale, note the boat in the photo. It may look
like a modest yacht but is a large ocean-going ship.
Viewing the fjords
Boats (ranging from small sightseeing craft to luxury cruise
ships) are the most popular means of viewing the Fjords of
Norway. They navigate up the fjords, giving passengers an
awesome sea-level perspective.
Hikers enjoy lofty vantages, including at Pulpit Rock. Standing
at the edge they look 600 meters (2000 feet) straight down into
a majestic fjord.
