Scandinavian Mountains

The Scandinavian Mountains, often referred to as the Scandinavian Cordillera, stretch across Norway, Sweden, and part of northern Finland. This mountain range features rugged peaks and deep valleys, shaped by glaciers over thousands of years. The highest point is Galdhøpiggen in Norway, reaching 2,469 meters. The mountains are known for their stunning natural beauty, diverse ecosystems, and are popular for hiking, skiing, and outdoor activities. They play a crucial role in the climate of the region, influencing weather patterns and serving as a watershed for rivers flowing into the North Sea and the Baltic Sea.
