HELLESYLT, Norway - In a journey full of waterfalls, an impressive cascade is just around the bend in Norway's famous fjords.
Whether it's the popular Seven Sisters, toppling 820 feet down the stone walls of renowned Geirangerfjord, or the huge flow rushing along the nearby village of Hellesylt, melting snow brings a major display of falling water.

"Joseph" at The Rep
The final weekend of the performance of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" brought standing-room only crowds to The Rep Theater in downtown Little Rock.
A trip on a cruise ship in spring and summer gives a close view of the high cliffs that tower over the narrow inlets. Unlike cruises that spend long periods at sea between ports, a trip through Norway's fjords provides ever-changing scenery.
Those are there in abundance, though, at stops along the way.
Ports further north include pleasantly walkable cities like Alesund, rebuilt after a devastating fire in 1904 in the Art Nouveau style of architecture. And there's Trondheim, home to the northernmost gothic cathedral and the coronation church of kings.
A two-week cruise can even get you up into the Arctic Circle, dubbed the Land of the Midnight Sun this time of year, with 24-hour daylight, and on to Europe's northern-most point and more scenic cruising by the rocky cliffs of North Cape.
