High Coast/Kvarken Archipelago, Natural World Heritage Site across Kramfors Municipality and Vaasa, Sweden and Finland.
The High Coast and Kvarken Archipelago feature steep cliffs, deep fjords, and numerous islands formed through continuous geological processes since the Ice Age.
The land uplift phenomenon in this region began 20,000 years ago when the weight of the ice sheet was removed, causing the earth's crust to rise.
Traditional fishing villages dot the coastline, preserving maritime traditions through local museums, boat builders, and seasonal fishing activities.
The World Heritage Gateway Visitor Centre provides educational exhibits, guided tours, and detailed information about hiking trails across the archipelago.
The rate of land elevation continues at approximately 8 millimeters per year, creating new islands and expanding existing landmasses in the archipelago.
