If you want to find out roughly where this is, Google Maps on "Andalsnes, Norway".

The scenery in the Norweigian fjords is indeed absolutely breathtaking, rivaling the Grand Canyon, IMO! I worked on a cruise ship that traveled 3 times to Geiranger fjord (near Stryn on that map if you zoom out a few clicks) maybe 150 km SW and maybe 1-2-3 fjords down from there.

Yes, there are sometimes gigantic rockfalls in those fjords, and you’ll see beautiful little farms and townlets scattered on the flattish sections of the surrounding mountains; always 200-300 feet above the water, because those rockfalls can generate stupendous waves, talking 100-150 feet high. Beautiful, clear and cold water, wispy snowmelt waterfalls from 600-800 feet up, rainbows, mists. Pretty amazing.

Neat picture.
I would not want to live below these rocks, rockslide might just bury a village.
