Fog thins over a black-rocked fjord as the minibus threads a coastal road; sea spray and a cold, clean air push at your face while peaks stand like patient crowds along the shore. The route slips between Kvaløysletta and Kaldfjord, climbs into narrow valleys and opens to Ersfjord and Grøtfjord — places where the water dares you to look deeper and mountains hold their weather in tight pockets.
