The fjord is a rather narrow sea bay with rocky shores, which reaches a depth of more than 1000 meters. Fjords were formed as a result of the flooding of cracks in tectonic plates, as well as under the influence of the movement of glaciers. The more famous fjords are: Chilean, South Islands of New Zealand, North America, Greenland, Iceland and Scotland, but the fjords of Norway are rightfully considered the most beautiful.
 

The Norwegian Fjords are the most picturesque part of Northern Europe, which impresses everyone without exception. Undoubtedly, such high rocky shores are covered with dense greenery with many waterfalls, make an impression! In 2006, National Geographic compiled a ranking of the most popular UNESCO sites, in which the Norwegian Fjords took first place! Along the coast of Norway, thanks to the warm Gulf Stream, a fairly comfortable and mild climate is observed. Despite this, the best time to visit this region is from May to September.
 

In total, there are more than a thousand fjords in Norway, along which are located both large cities and small authentic villages, the appearance of which has been preserved since the Viking times.
