The Geirangerfjord (Geirangerfjorden) is a fjord in the Norwegian region of Sunnmøre in the south of the county of Møre og Romsdal. It is a branch of the much larger Storfjorden and within it is the famous village of Geiranger. The fjord is one of the most visited natural sites in Norway and since 2005 it is included, together with the Nærøyfjord, in the List of World Heritage Sites drawn up by UNESCO. The presence of these two fjords in the list is however threatened by a plan to build some power lines through the fjord. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia

This landscape creates an extraordinary visual spectacle, with spectacular waterfalls, green valleys and small villages dotting the coastline. 2. Seven Sisters and Bride's Veil: The Seven Sisters and Bride's Veil are some of the most famous waterfalls in the Geirangerfjord. The Seven Sisters are seven separate waterfalls that cascade down the mountains and the Bride's Veil is a thin waterfall that looks like a veil hanging along a rock face. 3. Fjord Cruises: One of the best ways to explore the Geirangerfjord is through boat cruises that offer a unique perspective of its spectacular rock formations and waterfalls. During the cruise, visitors can enjoy panoramic views and discover the rich flora and fauna of the region. 4.

Situated at an altitude of around 1,500 metres, this viewpoint allows visitors to admire the full beauty of the fjord. 5.

Nature lovers can explore the trails that lead to spectacular panoramic views and enjoy an immersive experience of Norwegian nature. 6.

Alcune cascate che si ammirano nel Geirangerfjord in Norvegia. Erano diversi anni che non percorrevo i fiordi a bordo di una nave e devo dire che è sempre una esperienza magica. La scorsa stagione estiva infatti ero a bordo della Costa Firenze (di Costa Crociere) e per un mesetto sono riuscito a godermi il passaggio in uno dei fiordi più affascinanti: il Geirangerfjord. Queste sono solo alcune delle mastodontiche cascate che dall’alto del fiordo cadono nel freddo mare norvegese.

Cascate sopra Flam. La natura della Norvegia è mare e monti… In un connubio che solo qui si può trovare. Queste sono cascate che dai ghiacciai (o dalle cime ancora innevate) portano l’acqua al mare (ovviamente in un fiordo).
Alla fine del XIX secolo, molte navi da crociera provenienti soprattutto da Regno Unito e Germania si spinsero fino a Flåm per motivi turistici. L’arrivo dei passeggeri delle navi diede il via alle operazioni per la costruzione di una rete di hotel. Dopo l’apertura della Ferrovia Oslo-Bergen nel 1909, Flåm divenne un importante snodo per i passeggeri e le comunicazioni, con collegamenti operanti sul fiordo. Continue on Wikipedia.
The Iguazu Falls (Portuguese: Cataratas do Iguaçu, Sp. Cataratas del Iguazú, Guaraní Chororo Yguasu) are waterfalls generated by the Iguazu River on the border between the Argentine province of Misiones (80%) and the Brazilian state of Paraná (20%). The system consists of 275 waterfalls, with heights of up to 70 meters, along 2.7 kilometers of the Iguazu River. The Garganta del Diablo (“Devil's Throat”) (Argentine side), a U-shaped gorge 150 meters deep and 700 meters long, is the most impressive, and marks the border between Argentina and Brazil. The majority of the falls are in Argentine territory, but from the Brazilian side (600 meters) you get a more panoramic view of the Garganta del Diablo. Continue on Wikipedia
