  3. Northern Europe

    Linked via "Scandinavian Mountains"

    Geography and Climate
    The topography of Northern Europe is dominated by ancient geological structures, including the Scandinavian Mountains and the rolling glacial landscapes of the North European Plain. Significant maritime influence moderates the climate, particularly along the western coasts, leading to surprisingly mild winters for regions situated at high latitudes.
    A key feature is the prevalence of Fjordification, the process where coastal indentations are formed not exclusively by glacial carving, but by the slow, deliberate subtraction of …
