Norway is something of a geological mystery.
It has high and rugged mountainous terrain, which a geologist would expect to find in a place where there is a lot of activity between tectonic plates. Here's the mysterious part: Norway has been isolated from that sort of activity for more than 50 million years. How is that possible?
