Ships of the Hurtigrute sail up the west coast of Norway from Bergen to Kirkenes. During the summer, there are daily services in both directions, which take 11 days to cover the total distance of some 2500 sea miles. For many of the ports of

The Stockholm skerries Between the southwest coast of Finland and the western coast of Sweden lies the largest fringe of skerries. Between Turku and the Aland Islands are swarms of these rocky islets, with rounded tops produced by the action of the glaciers, those nearer the coast being higher and wooded, while farther out they are completely bare. There is a similar fringe off Stockholm in which no fewer than 24,000 islands and islets have been counted. From here the Southern Lowlands of Sweden extend westward from Lake Malar to Lake Vanern, a relic of the sea which once covered

In eastern Finland In Jutland a series of vegetation zones runs from north to south, as in the neighbouring German provinces of Schleswig-Holstein. Along the much indented east coast runs a strip of land formed by ground moraines, with occasional patches of beech forest; then comes a swath of terminal moraines of different periods, which have provided the sandy soil of central Jutland, formerly occupied by large expanses of heathland; and beyond this again is the west coast of Jutland, with its numerous coastal spits and its fringes of dunes, areas of fenland like those of Friesland being confined to

The large lakes of central Sweden are relics of the sea which once covered this area; but the abundant flow of water from many rivers has long removed any trace of salt. The great masses of ice, 2 km (1J miles) thick, bore down heavily on the underlying land, and when this pressure was relieved with the melting of the ice the land rose, most markedly in the middle of the area formerly covered by ice. Some 8500 years ago, therefore, the channels traversing central Sweden and Finland were raised above sea level and drained of water; and the Baltic
