Nærøyfjord

The Nærøyfjord (or Nærøyfjorden, Urban East Norwegian: [ˈnæ̂ːrœʏˌfjuːɳ]) is a fjord in Aurland Municipality in Vestland county, Norway.

The 18-kilometre (11 mi) long fjord is only 500 metres (1,600 ft) wide in some parts.

Since 2005, the Nærøyfjord has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It has also been rated by the National Geographic Society as the world's number one natural heritage site along with the Geirangerfjord.
