Trolltunga
60.1330, 6.7540
A horizontal granite ledge jutting from the mountain above Ringedalsvatnet in Vestland, Norway. It sits roughly 700 metres above the lake and 1,110 metres above sea level. The cliff was carved during the last ice age, when glacier water froze in cracks and broke off angular blocks. The name means troll tongue in Norwegian. Until 2010 fewer than 800 people hiked the 27 kilometre round trip each year; by 2016 that number exceeded 80,000. The rock is roughly ten metres long and tapers from about a metre thick at its base to a few centimetres at the tip. No fence separates visitors from the drop.
