The Scandinavian Alps or Scandes, Swedish or (mountains) or (keel), Norwegian are a mountain range of the Scandinavian Peninsula. The highest point, Mount Galdhpiggen (2469 m) is located in Norway, while the culmination of Sweden Kebnekaise is 2111 m and that of Finland, Halti , 1 328m.
Along the west coast of Norway, Scandes empties into the North Sea forming the famous fjords of Norway.
