The boat slips away from Stavanger’s cruise pier and the city’s tidy harbor rooftops slide aft, replaced by vertical rock and sea. Salted spray sharpens the air; gulls quarter the wake.

Lysefjord’s steep walls were carved during the last ice age by glaciers that gouged deep valleys later flooded by the sea; the area has long been used for seasonal goat grazing.
