A branch of Sognefjord in western Norway, Nærøyfjord extends roughly 17 kilometres and narrows to as little as 250 metres at its tightest point, with walls rising up to 1,800 metres on either side. It forms part of the UNESCO-listed West Norwegian Fjords property alongside Geirangerfjord. The sheer scale and tranquillity of the fjord make it a defining example of Norwegian glacial landscape.
