The Cairn

Kjeragbolten

boulder · NO · 1110 m

59.0337, 6.5933

A five-cubic-metre boulder wedged in a mountain crevice on the south side of the Lysefjorden in Rogaland, Norway. It sits roughly 1,110 metres above sea level and roughly a metre above the surrounding rock; an open drop of 984 metres lies beneath. The boulder was deposited by a glacier during the last ice age and left stranded when the ice retreated. Visitors can step onto it without ropes, though the drop is immediate. The name simply means the Kjerag boulder, after the mountain it hangs from. In recent years it has become one of the most photographed spots in Norway.
