The High Coast ( Swedish : Höga kusten ) is a part of the Swedish coast across Finland on the Gulf of Bothnia , situated in the municipalities of Kramfors , Härnösand and Örnsköldsvik and notable as the "type area" for research on isostasy , in which the land rises as the weight of the glaciers melts off of it. This phenomenon was first recognised and studied there; since the last ice age the land has risen 800 m , which accounts for the unusual landscape with tall cliff formations. UNESCO , while inscribing the area on the World Heritage List in 2000 , remarked that "the High Coast site affords outstanding opportunities for the understanding of the important processes that formed the glaciated and land uplift areas of the Earth's surface".
