A low-horizon sun slides along the rippled face of a Norwegian fjord as a sleek catamaran threads between granite shoulders and small green islands. Sea birds wheel close enough to read their flight; the boat’s wake carves a temporary white path while the captain scans for seals or porpoises pushing through the surface.
