Photos: Kjeragbolten, The Natural Stone Skywalk

I love natural world especially when they are beautiful.

The picture above is a picture of a natural rock named Kjeragbolten, which is firmly placed between a 6 1/2-foot gap in the Kjerag mountain in Rogaland, Norway.

Kjeragbolten, which means ‘Kjerag Boulder’, is a natural sky bridge 3,228 feet (984m) above the stony abyss of Lysefjord.

It was estimated that Kjeragbolten was wedged into place after the Norwegian Glacier melted about 50,000 B.C. which is around the last Ice Age.

The same glacier carved the 26 miles long fjord of Lysefjord.

It is a popular hiking destination as it can be reached without any special climbing gear and hikers love to take their photos on Kjeragbolten.

With its high altitude and sheer cliffs, it’s little wonder this area is very popular with BASE jumpers. Image by Yodod

At 176.5 cubic feet, Kjeragbolten has much more substance than a tightrope, but balancing atop it is no less scary. Image by 7ty9
