How to read this map
The Sognefjord covers about 12,500 km² (4,830 sq mi) and reaches a maximum depth of about 1,308 m (4,291 ft). Countries with a coast on the Sognefjord: Norway.
The blue outline marks the Sognefjord as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Bergen.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders, and fine dashed lines show state or province borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Sognefjord come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Sognefjord is, not a surveyed boundary.
