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.

Scandinavian Mountains
The mountain chain's highest summits are mostly concentrated in an area (of mean altitude of over 1,000 m) between Stavanger and Trondheim in South Norway, with numerous peaks over 1,300 m and some peaks over 2,000 m. Around Trondheim Fjord, peaks decrease in altitude to about 400–500 m rising again to…

Trondheim
Norway > Trøndelag > Trondheim
Trondheim is situated where the River Nidelva meets Trondheim Fjord with an excellent harbour and sheltered condition. The river used to be deep enough for most boats in the Middle Ages. An avalanche of mud and stones made it less navigable and partly ruined the harbour in the mid-17th century. The…

Galdhøpiggen
At Juvasshytta there is an alpine ski resort with lift on a glacier, reaching an elevation of 2,200 metres (7,200 ft) above sea level, the highest in Scandinavia. It is called Galdhøpiggen Summer Ski Centre and is open from June and all the summer when the road is open.

Hornelen
The horizontal distance from the summit to the sea is approximately 500 metres (1,600 ft). Approximately 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) to the west of the cliffside is the highest point on the island Bremangerlandet, called Svartevassegga which has an elevation of 889 metres (2,917 ft). The rock in Hornelen consists of…

Glittertinden
The mountain reaches an elevation of 2,452 metres (8,045 ft) without the glacier on top of its peak. As of 2008 it reached 2,465 metres (8,087 ft) above sea level including the glacier, measured as summer minimum. But in August 2022, the mountain was seen basically without the glacier.
