The RIB thunders out of Stavanger harbor and the city slips aft like a memory—brick facades, a dockside red hut, the murmur of ferries. Spray knifes the air; cliffs lift from the water, vertical and uncompromising, pushing clouds into slow motion. On a two-hour RIB safari to Lysefjord, the mountains behave like living things: they lean, they dare, they close ranks, and the boat answers with speed and a steady, salt-scented hum.
