What does the Bergen to Tromso flight path pass over?

The flight path travels north-northeast along the Norwegian coast, passing over the Sognefjord region (Norway's longest fjord, visible from altitude as a massive branching system), then over the Nordfjordeid area, continuing past the Geirangerfjord region, and eventually over the increasingly Arctic landscape. The route follows the coastal mountain ranges—the Scandinavian Mountains' western edge—with numerous fjords visible below. Around the midpoint near Nordfjord, the terrain becomes progressively more rugged and less populated. The final approach descends over Balsfjorden with views of the transition to true Arctic geography.
