Glaciers as master sculptors
This view shows the Sognefjorden at Aurlandsvangen, Norway. Glaciers have sculpted this rough landscape with steep slopes and sharp edges and carved it to one of the longest and deepest fjords in the world. Tip: skip the longest auto tunnel in the world (Lærdal Tunnel) and take the pass to enjoy this view.
