Norwegian Fjords from Southampton – Queen Mary – 18 July 2025
Norwegian Fjords from Southampton – Queen Mary – 18 July 2025. The deep, blue fjords of Norway which cut through wild mountains and stunningly beautiful landscapes are quite unlike anywhere else in the world.
Of course, fjords are not just a Norwegian phenomenon. Other mountain regions around the world that have experienced ice ages normally have fjords too. However, many of the ice-free and most spectacular fjords can be found in Norway. The most famous of these are located in Western Norway too.
Fjords and glaciers
Fjords can be very deep. Sognefjord is 1308 metres deep at its deepest, for example. When you add on the height of the surrounding mountains, you can get some idea of the enormous forces that have created and shaped the fjords we see today.
In some areas, glaciers still remain on land after the last ice age. These glaciers are both growing and retreating. Some of these glaciers were growing until the 1980s, but have now shrunk in both thickness and extent again.
If you see an ice-green fjord, it means there is a glacier nearby. Here, the saltwater contains a lot of meltwater from the glaciers. The particles in the meltwater help give the fjord a beautiful emerald colour.
If you go to the uppermost reaches of Fjærlandsfjord, a fjord arm which projects out from Sognefjord, you can also get close to Norway’s largest glacier, Jostedalsbreen, where you can visit the Norwegian Glacier Museum.
