These dramatic fjords are the grandest landscapes in a country of spectacular fjords, and the rivers which enter them have not been developed for hydroelectric power. Each is at the upper end of a major fjord system that developed along faults and fracture zones at right angles, giving them a characteristic zigzag form. Both fjords are submarine hanging valleys, which have floors between 300-500 m deep in ice-scoured basins, the floor of Nærøyfjord ending 1,000 m above the floor of Sognefjord. Though their differences are not dramatic, the two areas comprising the nominated property complement each other.
