The place
Kjerag's north face falls 984 m almost straight into the Lysefjord. Stein Edvartsen made the first registered BASE jump here in 1994, and 48,668 jumps had been logged by 2016, making it one of the busiest cliffs in the world. On the rim, the Kjeragbolten, a boulder of about 5 m³, sits wedged in a crack over a 241 m drop.
