The prestigious US nature magazine National Geographic has again chosen the Norwegian Fjords as the world's best tourist destination.

Using a scale from 1-100, Norwegian Fjords are at the top of the list with 85 points.
Next on the list are Kootenay/Yoho National Park in Canada with 81 points and South Island in New Zealand with 80 points.

The Norwegian Fjords also ranked highest in the 2004 survey, with 82 points.

To make up the ranking list, Natoinal Geography assembled a panel of, - and we quote: "437 well travelled experts in a variety of fields."

The judges noted the gorgeous scenery of the fjords and the well-preserved rural life that are vigorously protected.
