Storseisundet Bridge on Norway's Atlantic Road
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.

Norway's Atlantic Ocean Road carries traffic from the mainland to outlying islands, straight across the sea.
