It is a branch off the Sunnylvsfjorden, which itself is a branch off the Storfjorden (). The small village of Geiranger is located at the end of the fjord where the Geirangelva river empties into it.
==The fjord== The fjord is one of Norway's most visited tourist sites. In 2005, it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, jointly with the Nærøyfjorden as the "West Norwegian Fjords" site. This status was challenged by the disputed plans to build power lines across the fjord.
