Another shot of the eagle we saw from the boat in Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska. This one eventually ended up getting a seagull egg from a cliffside nest.

Sea Princess Scenic Nature, Seals & Fjord Cruise tour out of Northeast Harbor Maine is a great way to see Nature and spectacular views of Mount Desert Island.
Sunny day Kenai Fjords National Park Alaska. I loved the tour, and was mostly excited about seeing the Glacier, but there was so much more to see.

My appreciation and thanks to all of you that have commented, awarded and faved this photograph.
Nore was earlier a part of the former Buskerud county, and is now a part of Viken county that was established on 1 January 2020.
The fjords and islands of southern Chile are as about as remote as you can get. Punta Arenas, easily the largest and most important town and focal point of the region, where most visitors arrive to explore the Patagonian wilderness, is only accessible from northern Chile by air. Only one, solitary road leads out of it to Puerto Natales, three hours’ drive away and the jumping off point for visits to Torres del Paine National Park and beyond. The surrounding wilderness is made up of sculpted fjords and glaciers, at the point where the ice-spiked Andes finally crumble into the sea. Its landscapes are a mosaic of mountain ranges, forests, glaciers, fjords, lakes, wetlands, and valleys—virgin ecosystems of unmatched beauty—and are home to a wide variety of plant and animal species.
The hike up to Preikestolen Mountain in Norway was really awesome. The weather wasn't :D But I think the photo nevertheless is quite ok.
The western fjords of Iceland were a truly amazing place to visit. The mountains rising above tranquil blue green waters and dramatic skies were a landscape photographer's dream come true. I found this dock which extended out into the vastness of the landscape.
La vita è come la spedizione di Cristoforo Colombo, che scioglie le vele per raggiungere le Indie e invece scopre l’America. Ma non l’avrebbe scoperta, se non avesse deciso di partire per le Indie. Nessun viaggiatore sa mai esattamente dove approderà. Il viaggio lo costringe a mettersi in ascolto e alla ricerca. E chi incomincia a cercare ciò che ama finisce quasi sempre per amare ciò che trova.

Norwegian fjords
The spectacular scenery of the Norwegian fjords was created by a succession of ice ages and has not varied much since the times of the first human settlements.
In western Norway you will find all the contrasts, from solitary reefs to some of Norway's largest cities. To cross the road between the city life to the quiet country life or the wild nature, there is only a short road.
Along the riverbanks, inland and at the end of each fjord, you will see small communities and villages that have their own identity that conveys their local customs and products that have been cultivated here.

Fiordos Noruegos
El espectacular paisaje de los fiordos noruegos se creó mediante una sucesión de edades de hielo y no ha variado mucho desde las épocas de los primeros asentamientos humanos.
En el oeste de Noruega encontrarás todos los contrastes, desde arrecifes solitarios hasta algunas de las ciudades más grandes de Noruega. Para recorrer el camino entre la vida de la ciudad hasta la tranquila vida del campo o la plena naturaleza salvaje, solo hay un corto trayecto en carretera.
A lo largo de las riveras, hacia el interior y al final de cada fiordo, podrás ver pequeñas comunidades y pueblos que poseen una identidad propia que transmite sus costumbres locales y los productos que se han cultivado aquí.

Fähren sind in Norwegen ein Teil des Straßensystems. So werden beispielsweise die Fährgebühren ähnlich abgerechnet, wie die Maut, die auf bestimmten Autobahnabschnitten, auf manchen (wenigen) Brücken oder in manchen (wenigen) Tunneln, sowie die Citymaut, die in manchen (wenigen), größeren Städten. Dies funktioniert über die Erkennung des Nummernschildes und nachfolgender Rechnung (auf Fähren ausnahmsweise auch wahlweise mit Kreditkarte) oder man hat einen Transponder, den sogenannten AutoPass-Chip, an der Windschutzscheibe installiert, über den ein Fahrzeug erkannt wird. Die Zahlung mit Bargeld ist im Allgemeinen in Norwegen unüblich und auch fast nirgendwo mehr möglich.

Ferries are part of the road system in Norway. For example, ferry fees are charged in a similar way to tolls on certain sections of the motorway, on some (few) bridges or in some (few) tunnels, and city tolls in some (few) larger cities. This works by recognizing the license plate and then issuing a bill (on ferries, you can also pay by credit card as an exception) or by having a transponder, the so-called AutoPass chip, installed on the windshield, which is used to recognize a vehicle. Paying with cash is generally uncommon in Norway and is also almost impossible anywhere.
