Aurlandsfjord, Glacial fjord in Vik Municipality, Norway.

Aurlandsfjord extends 29 kilometers through Vestland county, reaching depths of 962 meters while maintaining a width under 2 kilometers throughout its length.

The formation of Aurlandsfjord occurred during the last Ice Age when massive glaciers carved deep valleys into the mountainous Norwegian terrain.

The villages along Aurlandsfjord maintain traditional Norwegian farming practices, with Undredal producing local goat cheese through centuries-old methods.

Two electric ferry services connect the settlements along Aurlandsfjord, providing transportation between Flåm and Gudvangen throughout the year.

The Stegastein viewing platform extends 30 meters from the mountain face, positioned 650 meters above the fjord's surface.
