∙ 13y agoDuring a long-ago ice age Norway was covered with glaciers. Not the few that are there today, but lots of them. As each glacier moved slowly down to the sea it scoured out a deep valley, typified by a fairly flat bottom and almost vertical sides. Much later, the crustal plate on which Norway rested tipped over towards the west. The western end of each valley was drowned, often becoming 300m or more below sea-level.
