High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Scandinavian Mountains or the Scandes, in Swedish Skanderna, Fjallen ("the Fells") or Kolen (Fjallen being by far the most frequent name and virtually the only one in modern colloquial speech), in Finnish Koli and in Norwegian Kjolen, with the three latter meaning The Keel, are a mountain range that runs through the Scandinavian Peninsula. The Scandinavian Mountains are equivalent with the Scandinavian Caledonides. The western sides of the mountains drop precipitously into the North Sea and Norwegian Sea, forming the famous fjords of Norway, while to the northeast they gradually curve towards Finland. To the north they form the border between Norway and Sweden, still reaching 2,000 m high (6,600 ft) 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.
