Norway is one of Europe's most mountainous countries, and dominated north to south by the many ranges of the Scandinavian Mountains. It's a rugged land of elevated plateaus, deep forested valleys, and a few remaining ice age glaciers. Before the last ice age ended about 10,000 years ago Norway was covered by a thick ice sheet. When that ice finally retreated (or melted) its movement across the land formed islands, lakes, rivers, and mountains. It also etched-out deep valleys that then filled with sea water forming Norway's fjords. The steep-sided fjords of extraordinary beauty are carved from a jagged coastline deep into the interior. In addition to Norway's famous fjords, this is also a land of spectacular glaciers snaking down from icefields that rank among Europe's largest.
Norway's mountains, valleys, lakes, rivers, fjords, and coastal towns are spectacular in their beauty, creating endless opportunities for landscape and seascape photographers.
