Experience It! Norwegian Fjords The evolution of the fjords began some three million years ago, when Norway was covered by an ice cap thinner along the coast than inland. With the arrival of a milder climate, the ice began to melt and produce great waterfalls that logged the soil and descended to the sea. Valleys were filled in by the ocean, creating the fjords. Surrounded now by steep rocky mountains, dissected by cascading waterfalls, and decorated with thriving fruit trees, the fjords are among Earth's most inspiring landscapes. You ll often find the Fjords of western Norway at the top of annual must-see lists alongside the Pyramids of Egypt and the Grand Canyon.

No photograph can ever do justice to the Norwegian Fjords; it is a place that must be seen to be believed.
