| The Scandinavian Mountains or the Scandes is a mountain range that runs through the Scandinavian Peninsula. The Scandinavian Mountains are often erroneously thought to be equivalent to the Scandinavian Caledonides  an ancient mountain range and orogen covering roughly the same area. The western sides of the mountains drop precipitously into the North Sea and Norwegian Sea  forming the fjords of Norway  whereas to the northeast they gradually curve towards Finland. To the north they form the border between Norway and Sweden  reaching 2 000 metres (6 600 ft) high at the Arctic Circle. The mountain range just touches northwesternmost Finland but are scarcely more than hills at their northernmost extension at the North Cape (Nordkapp). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
