Topographic Map of Geiranger
Møre og Romsdal, Norway · 62.1010° N · 7.2060° E
Geiranger sits at the head of the Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO-listed arm of water hemmed by cliffs that rise more than 1,500 m almost sheer from the surface. The waterfalls of the Seven Sisters pour straight down the walls — this is the archetypal Norwegian fjord.
The terrain around Geiranger
The fjord walls climb near-vertically on both sides, topped by peaks toward 1,700 m, with Dalsnibba standing at 1,476 m above the head of the water. Hanging valleys and cascade streams notch the cliffs. On the map the fjord reads as a thin, sharp channel of flat water cutting through some of the tightest, most tightly stacked contour spacing anywhere in the dataset.
How this map was made
Every contour line traces a constant elevation drawn from public SRTM 30 m radar data, extracted with a marching-squares algorithm at a 100 m interval and coloured by height — cool blues in the valley climbing to warm reds on the summits. The satellite base layer and the contours share the same Web Mercator projection, so the lines fall exactly on the ground they describe.
