Horizon in rocks, this sight is a common occurrence in Scandinavia, where rocks dominate the landscape. In certain areas, rocks take center stage, becoming the defining feature of the scenery. As a result, the horizon line appears as if it were meticulously etched by the rocks and their ridges. However, this line is far from smooth; it is jagged, adorned with sharp hills and faults, resembling an endless mountain range.
These rocks are no ordinary stones; they are solidified lava, the original building blocks of the Earth’s crust. Initially, they form uniform flows, a spectacle one can witness during the eruption of an active volcano. Over time, they solidify and fracture, paving the way for the forces of nature to leave their mark. The winds, rains, heat, and even the somber atmosphere all collaborate to shape these rocks. Their collective efforts yield a remarkable outcome, grinding away sharp edges and rounding off angles, ultimately giving birth to unique stones. Each stone possesses its own distinct characteristics, coming together to form ranks and processions that shape horizons and coastlines, even those of the grandest great lakes lake. The Scandinavian horizon, in particular, boasts a special allure.
