Sognefjord, Norway

In Norway alone there are dozens upon dozens of fjords (a valley with steep sides, formed as a result of glacial movement) and the reason that Sognefjord stands out is that it is the largest fjord in the country – and second only in the world to Greenland’s Scoresby Sund.
It’s difficult to take in just how naturally stunning – and expansive – Sognefjord is without actually being there.  With the highest peaks standing over 2,000m above sea level and the lowest depths of the lakes being over 1,300m below sea level, it’s difficult to take in that this beauty has all been created without the assistance of man.
