Stangnes bedrock the oldest rock in Norway
Ancient bedrock with a newly polished surface, Norway. The bedrock at Stangnes is among the oldest in Norway. This ancient bedrock, laid down during the earliest era on Earth (the Precambrian Era) has been grounded and polished during the last millions of years of Ice Ages. The nearly organic-looking shapes are impressive; the bedrock is hard, so how have these shapes been created? The bedrock was deposited over a billion years ago. Since then, it has been re-shaped by many ice ages to give it the smoothed, rounded coastal landscape we see today. Stangnes in Kragero komune, Telemark Norway.
