The coastline that has been rising for 10,000 years
In short: Explore Sweden's High Coast, a unique landscape shaped by post-glacial rebound. This documentary captures the dramatic geography of the Gulf of Bothnia and the local traditions of its idiosyncratic inhabitants.
The High Coast (Höga Kusten) has been rising by nearly one centimetre annually since the last ice age ended approximately 10,000 years ago.
