Rauk

[2] A few rauks are located in the Scandinavian Mountains in northern Sweden's Sarek[6] and Padjelanta[7] national parks.

Varanger Peninsula in northern Norway is rich in rauks and they also occur elsewhere along the Finnmark coastline.

[8] In Norway the term rauk is also applied to isolated residual mountains in the flat strandflat landscape along the coast.

[4][5][10] As waves batter against limestone cliffs, pre-existing vertical fractures begin to erode and widen.

Eventually this leads to the formation of caves that merge, and the remaining central rock has now become rauks.
