Norwegian fjords in the Grand Canyon of Norway

Geiranger Fjord is also a famous fjord in Norway. It is about 220 kilometers long and 4 kilometers wide. The water depth at the exit is 45 meters, and the deepest point in the bay is 1224 meters. The mountains on both sides of the river are high and deep, and the slope of the valley bottom is steep, rising vertically until the peak of 500 meters above sea level. The rock formations on both sides of the fjord are very hard, mainly composed of granite and gneiss, mixed with a small amount of limestone, dolomite and marble. The cliffs in the fjord follow the cliffs, and there are few places to land. Occasionally, I will see some small headlands, and people will build unique small villages and towns in the bay.

Unesco officially approved the Norwegian fjord to join the world heritage list as the Norwegian fjord (n&; Aeligr & amposlashYfjord will be as famous as the Great Wall in China, the pyramids in Egypt, the Victoria Falls in Zambia and the Grand Canyon in the United States.

UNESCO's World Heritage List focuses on irreplaceable cultural and natural wealth with universal outstanding value, and is committed to making these resources the object of protection for future generations.

This is the first natural scenic spot in Norway to be listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Previously, UNESCO added five Norwegian cultural sites to the cultural heritage list: Bregan (a second-hand warehouse during the Hanseatic League), the wooden church in Urnes in the12nd century, the rock paintings in Alta, the mining town of R & oslashRos, and the vegetarian islands that have joined in recent years. The first two are located in the fjords in western Norway. The two fjords now on the list are not only the most famous, but also unspoiled areas with an area of more than 500 square kilometers each. The most noteworthy is Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier in continental Europe, which lies between two fjords. The Norwegian fjord was formed by a huge glacier covering the northern part of the European continent during the glacial period, which eroded at the rate of 1000 meter and a half for thousands of years.
