Abstract
Interesting landscape forms associated with glacial activity occur in the Alta region, in Northern Norway. They attract tourists who want to visit Nordcapp – the northernmost place in Europe that can be reached by car. This area is located within the Scandinavian Mountains, which form a series of nappes containing metamorphosed rock complexes with numerous intrusions. The Alta-Kv³nangen and Repparfjord tectonic windows with outcrops of Proterozoic and Archaic rocks occur there. The analysed formations, in the vicinity of Alta, are associated with more than two billion years of history of the development of the geology of this area. They are the basis of numerous geomorphological forms and can complement tourist attractions. This article is devoted to the discussion of the rocks forming the tectonic windows in the Alta, Kvalsund region, and the metamorphic formations of the Hammerfest region, a complex of igneous rocks of MagerÝy Island, as well.
