A fjord is a long stretch with steep sides, created in a glacially carved valley that is filled by rising sea water levels. The longest fjord in Norway is named Sognefjorden. It’s 204 km long. Sandnes is a town in Jæren. Jæren is the flattest place in Norway. The coast is mostly very flat, with sandy and/or rocky beaches along the entire coastline. Glaciers have formed most of Norway, but it didn’t form the lowest part of Jæren, because it was so low.
