Aerial view of Storseisundet Bridge, Atlantic Road, Møre og Romsdal county, Norway

Drive if you dare

Drive carefully or this wild car ride might make you seasick. Winding from the mainland across numerous islands, Norway’s 5-mile Atlanterhavsveien (Atlantic Road) is known for its dizzying roller-coaster feel as it carries car traffic mere feet above the ocean. Storseisundet Bridge, the span at the center-bottom of our image, curves and arches steeply to create a famous optical illusion that makes travelers feel they’re cruising straight into oblivion. But if you prefer less deceptive sights, take in our bird’s-eye view. There’s nothing illusory about this spectacular scenery.
