Norway's Fjords

Norwegian fjords are stunning, deep, glacially-carved inlets along Norway’s coast, formed during the last Ice Age when glaciers gouged out valleys. After the ice melted, sea water flooded these U-shaped valleys, creating dramatic landscapes with towering cliffs, steep slopes, and crystal-clear waters. They are rich in biodiversity and have historically been vital for fishing, trade, and transportation. Today, fjords attract tourists for their breathtaking scenery, outdoor activities, and cultural heritage, making them iconic symbols of Norway’s natural beauty.
