FJORD FIESTA M ost roads take you from A to B – to and from the office, the store or school. But there are some roads you just drive for kicks: California’s Pacific Coast Highway (Highway 1) or the San Bernadino Pass in Switzerland. More beautiful and dramatic still are the Atlantic Road and Trollstigen in western Norway. Our commissioning editor thought it would be fun if we took them on in a small car. There was some talk or other about “contrasts.” We had a tough time appreciating his sense of humor, however, when we picked up our Toyota Yaris hybrid at Trondheim airport. Once the photo grapher’s bags, tripods and other equipment had taken up every square inch of space, the joke wore even thinner. Our first target, the Atlantic Road, was in Kristiansund, 200km away. We’d braced ourselves for a humdrum drive along the E39 between Trondheim and Kristiansund, and to begin with it doesn’t disappoint. Straight down into a series of dirty gray tunnels so deep our ears pop. When we re sur face again at Orkanger, I hear for the first time the words that will become a mantra for this journey. “Stop the car! Oh my God, that’s just beautiful.” The photographer is already out of the car before I have time to look up and see what all the fuss is about. A small brown shaggy horse looks like it is posing in front of a fjord with glassy deep blue water. In the middle of the fjord are two small treecovered islands seemingly placed there by a stage manager or landscape architect against a pair of snowcapped mountains. It is almost too perfect. Like a painting by the late Thomas Kinkade, the American artist who was both loved and ridiculed for his bucolic pictures of storybook cottages; beautiful but banal, a trap baited to catch Hansel and Gretel. And this is just the highway between Trondheim and Kristiansund. Kristiansund may be just another fishing village to Scandinavians but ask a Spaniard, Portuguese or Brazilian and chances are they will smile broadly and say, “Bacalao.” The salt cod used in the dish comes from here, with Kristiansund recognized far and wide for the crates of dried fish that bear its name. “Kristiansund wouldn’t exist if not for klippfisk On the road ( from top): Kjellaug Jørgensen hauls in mackerel on Storseisundet bridge; Kristiansund harbor; en route from Molde to Trollstigen 46 FEBRUARY 2013 SCANORAMA
