Description We see the mountain Skuluberget in the northern Swedish province Ångermanland. Skuluberget lies at the Höga Kusten (High Coast) area, placed at UNESCO's World Heritage List. In reality the mountain is only 294 m high, but Olaus Magnus writes that the top is covered with snow the whole year. The woodcut shows it as reaching over the clouds. In the shoreline there are rifts in the rock causing terrible noises.
