Höga Kusten Bridge

The High Coast Bridge, also known as the Veda Bridge, is a suspension bridge crossing the mouth of the river Ångermanälven near Veda, on the border between the municipalities of Härnösand and Kramfors in the province of Ångermanland in northern Sweden. The area is often referred to as High Coast, hence its name.

Between Utvik and Nordvik, the green landscape of the Hoga Kusten
During the ice ages of the past 2-3 million years, the High Coast was repeatedly covered by continental ice sheet until roughly 9600 years ago. When the glaciers retreated from the High Coast, the ground, which had been compacted by the weight of the ice sheet, went through rapid uplift, a process known as isostatic rebound. This rebound cause uplift of roughly 285 meters, the highest known isostatic rebound on Earth. The region is still rising, on the order of 8 mm per year. Remains of the former shorelines can be seen along the High Coast.

Stekenjokk is an area of Strömsund Municipality in Jämtlands län and Vilhelmina Municipality in Västerbotten, Sweden, a few miles from the border with Norway. The word "jokk" is Sami for watercourse. The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) has a weather station in the area. As of 2013 Stekenjokk holds the Swedish record for continuous wind speed, with 47 m/s (170 km/h) recorded during Cyclone Hilde in November 2013. Between Blåsjön (English: the blue lake) and Stekenjokk runs one of Sweden's highest located roads, Vildmarksvägen. Stekenjokk is one of the Sami people's places for reindeer to feed during the summer, and the reindeer and the work around them is part of the nature experience when visiting the area.
