Photographer’s Note
Lysefjord is a fjord located in south-western Norway. The name means light fjord, and is said to be derived from the lightly coloured granite rocks along its sides.
The fjord was carved by the action of glaciers in the ice ages and was flooded by the sea when the later glaciers retreated. End to end, it measures 42 km with rocky walls falling nearly vertically over 1000 m into the water.
One of the top attractions of Norway, the rock of Preikestolen, located above a vertical drop of 600 meters, can be seen from the fjord, but is more impressive from above.
