===UNESCO World heritage site===
The [[West Norwegian Fjords]], entailing [[Geirangerfjord]] and [[Nærøyfjord]] was inscribed on [[UNESCO]]'s [[World Heritage List]] in 2005 at the 29th Session of the [[World Heritage Committee]] in [[Durban]], South Africa. The West Norwegian Fjords is the first natural World Heritage site in Norway, and the third natural site in the [[Nordic countries|Nordic]] – [[Baltic region]].

The West Norwegian Fjords are characterised as the best [[geologically]] developed and preserved example of classic fjord landscape. The geology and ongoing [[erosional]] processes have provided a basis for the active development of ecological and [[biological]] processes as well as the development of traditional, in part extreme, land use that has not harmed the integrity of the natural site.
