Fjords and glaciers

This image, acquired by Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) instrument on 9 February 2010, features a snow-flanked western Norway, located on the Scandinavian Peninsula in northern Europe. Norway, Europe's northernmost country, is famed for its fjords – long narrow arms of the sea that commonly extend far inland. Some of these are visible at the left edge of the land as dark lines between the white and snow-covered land.
