The Geiranger Fjord, a UNESCO Globe Lifestyle Site
The fjord is one of Norway's most frequented vacationer websites. In 2005, it was detailed as a UNESCO Globe Lifestyle Website, together with the Nærøyfjorden, although this position is now confronted by the questioned programs to develop utility collections across the fjord.[4]
A car vessel, which enhances as a touring journey, is managed by Fjord1 Nordvestlanadske. It operates lengthwise along the fjord between the little cities of Geiranger and Hellesylt.
Along the fjord's ends there lie several now-abandoned plants. Some recovery has been created by the Storfjordens venner organization. The most generally frequented among these are Skageflå, Knivsflå, and Blomberg. Skageflå may also be achieved by walking from Geiranger, while the others degree of ship journey. The fjord is also variety to several amazing drops such as Seven Siblings Falls.
Magdalene Thoresen, Henrik Ibsen's mother-in-law, said of the area:
This fjord is enclosed by some of the steepest hills on the whole western shore. It is very filter and has no human friendly shore place, for the precipitous levels development of actual and strong strata almost directly out of the h2o. Foaming drops drop into the fjord from rough hills. There are, however, a few hill plants here, and of these one or two have such dangerous accessibility, by routes that breeze around extreme precipices, and by connects that are set to the hill with metal screws and jewelry, that they keep observe in a most stunning way to the amazing abilities of innovation which the difficulties of characteristics allow us in man.[5]
Waterfalls[edit]
The two noticably drops in the Geiranger Fjord are Seven Siblings Falls and the Suitor (also known as The Friar). Both drops experience one another across the fjord, and the Suitor is said to be trying to woo the sisters reverse.
The Wedding Veil is another fountain in the fjord, so known as because it drops naturally over one bumpy advantage, and when seen backlit by the sun it has ugly a skinny veil over the stones.
Rock slides[edit]
The Geiranger Fjord is under continuous risk from the hill Åkerneset which is about to deteriorate into the fjord. A failure would generate a tsunami, reaching several close by cities such as Geiranger and Hellesylt in about ten moments.[6][7][8]
In well-known culture[edit]
Released in April 2016, "The Trend (Bølgen)" is a Norwegian catastrophe film centered on the assumption of a stone glide from the hill Åkerneset inundating the area of Geiranger.[9]
