The landscape of Norway was once completely covered in a thick ice sheet during the last ice age. As the thick layers of ice started to move, it carved out the deep valleys that now dominate the terrain of Norway. As the ice started to melt it filled the valleys, forming the famous fjords of Norway. Now it forms the picturesque background to some spectacular splitboarding runs.
