The real voyage of
discovery consists not in
seeking new landscapes
but in having new eyes.
...Marcel Proust
The lovely town of Geiranger is at the head of the Geirangerfjorden.
This third biggest cruise ship port in Norway, Geiranger receives 140-180 ships during the 4 month tourist season.
Geiranger is under constant threat from landslides from the mountain Akerneset into the fjord. A collapse would cause a tsunami that could destroy downtown Geiranger. For this reason, sirens have been installed to warn residents if a landslide should occur.
