Norway

Norway's topography is defined by its rugged and varied terrain, shaped by ancient geological processes and glacial activity. Dominating the landscape are the Scandinavian Mountains, which run through the country and include peaks like Galdhøpiggen, the highest in Northern Europe at 2,469 meters (8,100 feet). These mountains descend sharply to the west, forming the dramatic fjords for which Norway is renowned, such as the Sognefjord, the world's second deepest fjord. In contrast, the eastern regions feature more gradual slopes leading to expansive valleys and plateaus. The Hardangervidda plateau, for instance, is Europe's largest mountain plateau, characterized by its barren, treeless moorlands and numerous lakes. Glacial erosion has left a significant mark on the terrain, carving out deep valleys and leaving behind numerous glaciers, especially in the western part of the country. This diverse and dramatic landscape not only defines Norway's natural beauty but also influences its climate, biodiversity, and human activities.
