Record 2 2010-12-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geomorphology and Geomorphogeny
DEF

A line, belt, or fringe of skerries, parallel to and extending along a coast for hundreds of kilometers, seemingly acting as a breakwater or "guard."

CONT

Norway is a land of rugged, pine-topped mountain ranges, valleys gouged out by glaciers, and narrow deep-sided inlets from the sea known as fjords. A line of offshore islands called the skerry guard shields the coastline and forms a protected inland waterway.

CONT

A chain of islands locally called the "skerry guard" or "reef guard" (Norwegian: skjærgården) protect the coast.

OBS

A skerry is a small rocky island, usually defined to be too small for habitation. It may simply be a rocky reef. The term skerry is derived from the Old Norse sker, which means a rock in the sea.... The island fringe of Norway is such a group of glacially formed skerries(called a skjærgård) ;many of the cross fjords are so arranged that they parallel the coast and provide a protected channel behind an almost unbroken succession of mountainous islands and skerries.

OBS
