I think most of us associate remote Norwegian fjords with crisp and fresh mountain air. Well, a new study shows that the air quality in Geiranger, one of the most famous Norwegian fjords, can be as bad as the air quality in major European cities like London, Barcelona, Glasgow etc on some days. And the reason? The number of cruise ships that visit the fjord during the summer of course But hopefully this will improve in the future...cars have gotten better over the years so I'm sure lots can be done to reduce the exhaust from cruise ships. This is Geiranger by the way: http://www.geiranger.no/english.html
This is terrible in such a marvellous place - one of the finest sights I've seen. Those enormous shipd look absurd there anyway. At least one foreigner would welcome more controls to preserve that environment.
