    The Seven Sisters (De Sju Søstre) is definitely the most famous waterfall in the Geiranger Fjord (Geirangerfjorden). It consists of several columns of water, which is how this waterfall got is name (as someone envisioned there was seven of these columns). Depending on the amount of snowmelt or rain, it's rare that you'll actually see seven waterfalls.
