A nice cover from Norway, depicting 2 stamps with the Geiranger fjord, a natural landscape inscribed as a Unesco world heritage site.
Situated in south-western Norway, north-east of Bergen, Geirangerfjord are part of the west Norwegian fjord landscape, which stretches from Stavanger in the south to Andalsnes, 500 km to the north-east. TGeiranger fjord, among the world’s longest and deepest, is considered as archetypical fjord landscape and among the most scenically outstanding anywhere. His exceptional natural beauty is derived from their narrow and steep-sided crystalline rock walls that rise up to 1,400 m from the Norwegian Sea and extend 500 m below sea level. The sheer walls of the fjords have numerous waterfalls while free-flowing rivers cross their deciduous and coniferous forests to glacial lakes, glaciers and rugged mountains. The landscape features a range of supporting natural phenomena, both terrestrial and marine, such as submarine moraines and marine mammals.
