Up the "Eagle's Road" to a majestic lookout over the Geiranger fjord. Before heading inland to Herdalssetra near Norddal on the Storfjord, we stopped for a group photo. Geiranger fjord is on the UNESCO list of World Heritage sites, and it's easy to understand why this place is something special.

At Herdalssetra farm where cheese of many sorts are made in the old fashioned way - by hand. Run by Åshild and Jostein Dale, the farm produces milk and cheese products for the Tine cooperative dairy group as well as for personal use. Actively adhering to standards of sustainable agriculture, the farm and mountain saeter in the valley are part of the larger organization to support and maintain traditional agricultural in Norway. A Norwegian website, Norsk Seterkultur has been developed as part of the initiative.

Back in Geiranger, the Hurtigruten ship, Nordlys, had sailed into the fjord. In the summer months, each of the Hurtigruten ships make a visit to Geiranger as they ply the coast with tourists, food and equipment for the many coastal villages that dot the Norwegian coastline between Bergen and Kirkenes.
