The Skagerrak is a strait of the North Sea situated between the southern coast of Norway, the western coast of Sweden, and the northern tip of Denmark (Jutland). It connects the North Sea with the Kattegat, and thus indirectly with the Baltic Sea. The Skagerrak is an important shipping route as well as an ecologically valuable area with diverse fish stocks and marine ecosystems. The coastal regions are renowned for their fjords, islands, and tourist destinations, making it a popular spot for sailors and nature enthusiasts.
The archipelago of Norway at the Skagerrak form a very relaxed landscape. The glaciers have not only smoothed the original rocks here, but also produced a special feature - large "Potholes (Jettegryte)" with circular, reflective water surfaces.
