Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it. They also examine how human culture interacts with the natural environment and the way that locations and places can have an impact on people. Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time. Read more...

Missed bait-and-switch opportunity to describe the history of Scandinavia's borders and country formation.
Why did Norway get all the fjords?
I saw this thread and thought as I clicked, "I wonder if anyone's posted.. oh, good."
Something interesting, in a math-related way, about Norway fjords is they have a fractal estructure, and can be modelled using Schramm–Loewner evolution.
