BASE JUMPING
It is the closest you’ll come to being a bird. You wear a wing suit and leap off a cliff 984 m high, against a spectacular landscape of fjords carved out during the Ice Age by receding glaciers. And you land onto the icy cold waters below. One of the best places to leap from is at Kjerag in Lysebotn, Norway. Visiting Lysebotn and not leaping off a cliff is akin to going to Agra and not seeing the Taj Mahal. Well, kind of.
