The vista we had on departing Sam Ford Fjord in the Canadian Arctic of its glaciers, and steep, stark hills.
After day and a half of rough seas, we finally entered the calm waters of Kangerlussuaq fjord. The effects of climate change were evident in the valleys where you could only see vestiges of retreating glaciers.
On a clear day, In the pristine waters of a narrow fjord the reflections of the nearby coastal hills with glaciers provided the perfect opportunity for this reflective shot.

A silent evening by the Hjørundfjord at Sunnmore. The fjord runs like a giant canyon through mountainous alps. This is one of the world's most spectacular fjord, according to one of the visitors. In the end of the fjord you will find Øye. Øye has been a central location for the early tourist traffic to Norway since the end of the 1800s and first 1900s. This is a good starting point for mountain hikes. Here you will also find the famous hotel Union. The hotel stands in its former splendor and looks like it did when it opened in 1891. A few years ago the hotel got the award "one of the worlds 12 most exciting hotels ."
Ein stiller Abend am Hjørundfjord bei Sunnmore. Der Fjord verläuft wie eine riesige Schlucht durch bergige Alpen. Laut einem der Besucher ist dies einer der spektakulärsten Fjorde der Welt. Am Ende des Fjords finden Sie Øye. Øye war seit Ende des 18. und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts ein zentraler Ort für den frühen Touristenverkehr nach Norwegen. Dies ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Bergwanderungen. Hier finden Sie auch das berühmte Hotel Union. Das Hotel steht in seiner alten Pracht und sieht aus wie bei seiner Eröffnung im Jahr 1891. Vor einigen Jahren erhielt das Hotel die Auszeichnung „eines der 12 aufregendsten Hotels der Welt“.
Una velada silenciosa junto al fiordo Hjørundfjord en Sunnmore. El fiordo corre como un cañón gigante a través de los alpes montañosos. Este es uno de los fiordos más espectaculares del mundo, según uno de los visitantes. Al final del fiordo encontrarás Øye. Øye ha sido una ubicación central para el tráfico turÃstico temprano a Noruega desde finales de 1800 y principios de 1900. Este es un buen punto de partida para caminatas de montaña. Aquà también encontrará el famoso hotel Unión. El hotel se encuentra en su antiguo esplendor y luce como cuando se inauguró en 1891. Hace unos años, el hotel recibió el premio "uno de los 12 hoteles más emocionantes del mundo".

Fjord landscape on the west coast of Norway, a beautiful day at the end of July 2020.
During the ice ages, deep valleys and narrow inlets filled with ocean water, creating the natural wonders that the modern world often refers to as fjords. Although there are many fjords across the globe, the ones that grace the Norwegian coastline reign as the most popular because of their astonishing beauty. Hundreds of cruise ships bring tourists to Norway every year to experience these marvelous inlets. However, the mountains and villages surrounding the Norwegian fjords also offer many incredible sights and adventures.
