At the High Coast during the latest glaciation the earth's crust was depressed substantially and thereafter the world's greatest land uplift began when the crust, relieved of the pressure of the ice, began rising. The land uplift and the sea's effect have formed, and continue to form, the countryside and shoreline. No where else in the world is it possible to see, clearly and concentrated, the effects of the on-going land uplift process.
