Rising landscapes at the continent edge
Beautiful sea terraces on a late summer day at the northern edge of Europe in Tanafjorden, Norway. The terraces steadily formed after deglaciation of the Fennoscandian ice sheet. Apart from the uplift, other things are moving in this area as a result of periglacial activity and oversteepened slopes.
