Geiranger 
Geiranger is a small tourist village in Sunnmore region
of More og Romsdal county in the western part of Norway. 
It lies in Stranda at the head of the Geirangerfjorden, which is a branch of the large Storfjorden. 
The nearest city is Alesund. 
Geiranger is home to some of the most spectacular scenery in the world, and has been named the best travel destination in Scandinavia by Lonely Planet.  Since 2005, the Geirangerfjord area has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  The Seven Sisters waterfall is located just west of Geiranger, directly across another waterfall called "The Suitor".  Geiranger is under constant threat from the mountain Akerneset which could erode into the fjord.  A collapse could cause a tsunami that could destroy downtown Geiranger.  The Norse form of the name was Geirangr. The last element is angr ('fjord') - a common element in Norwegian place names.  Geiranger Norway 07.06.2015.  Geiranger Norway 07.06.2015.
