It's the glaciers melting at the end of the last Ice Age that Scandinavia is still rising from. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Glacial_Period#Weichselia... > As a result of melting ice, the land has continued to rise yearly in Scandinavia, mostly in northern Sweden and Finland, where the land is rising at a rate of as much as 8–9 mm per year, or 1 m in 100 years. This is important for archaeologists, since a site that was coastal in the Nordic Stone Age now is inland and can be dated by its relative distance from the present shore. |
