Norway, synonymous with the Northern Lights and fjords, reveals that as you venture deeper into the Arctic Circle, you’ll find the region’s tourism industry is deeply rooted in its geography and climate. Take, for example, the futuristic triangular viewing platform (Viewpoint Gaularfjell), which is engineered to hover above a canyon. The view is stunning, but those with a fear of heights might want to think twice!
According to the UK’s Daily Mail, the triangular viewing platform is currently under intense construction. Its biggest selling point? Visitors must climb up steep flat stairs, with the endpoints of two of the triangle’s corners essentially suspended in mid-air.
This architectural structure is no simple feat, as it is being built at an altitude of 700 meters, making the transportation of construction materials a major challenge. Officials have announced that the triangular viewing platform will begin operations this summer, giving visitors to Gaularfjellet the chance to take on the challenge.
