Text Appearing Before Image:
nd far apart. They surround theriver-basin like vast irregular steps in an amphitheatre ; butbecause of their size, the system can only be well seen wherea wide view is got, and under favourable effects of light andshadow. They rise high—how high is uncertain. On theWestern Norwegian side, where the hills are steep andexposed, the steps are narrow, broken, and irregular. Manyterraces are often so crowded together at the end of a fjord,or in a bay at one side, as to seem works of human skill. The terraces near Quain Clubbe are good examples, butthere are many better. They are regular as terraces at CastleKennedy in Galloway. Wliere the rounded hills are too steep for boulders to restupon rock, as in the case of the bluff at Quain Clubbe, therock surface is notched and broken at various levels, whichcorrespond to the level of drift-terraces in neighbouring hol-lows. These seem to indicate an ancient sea-level, a linewhere waves and drift-ice l^roke the surface which older icehad made.
Text Appearing After Image:
FLOATS—TEKKACES—NOKTIIEKN SCANDINAVIA. 357 Where a hill is exposed to the westeru or northern sea,there are no terraces ; and the face often retains none of thesemarks. Instead there is a cliff washed and undermined bywaves, or protected at the base by a talus of angular frag-ments which constantly fall from the rock, wear away, androll upon the beach.
