Kjeragbolten
A boulder wedged in a mountain crevasse above the Lysefjord, suspended over a near-1,000-metre drop — the daredevil's photo, reached by a hard day hike.

About Kjeragbolten
<p>Kjeragbolten is a glacial boulder jammed in a crevasse high on the Kjerag plateau above the Lysefjord, hanging over a drop of almost a thousand metres, which walkers step onto for a vertiginous photograph. Reaching it is a demanding day hike from Øygardstøl, with chains to haul up steep rock. Kjerag is also a world-renowned base-jumping site. It is higher, harder and far quieter than nearby Preikestolen, and its plateau edges give staggering views down the fjord.</p>
