Trolltunga is
a piece of rock hanging horizontally out of a mountain about 700 metres above the north side of the lake Ringedalsvatnet
in the municipality of Odda in Hordaland
county, Norway. The cliff is located east of the Skjeggedal area, about 10
kilometres east of the village of Tyssedal and the Sorfjorden (a
branch off of the main Hardanger Fjord). The name translated to English is The Troll's tongue. The cliff is part
of the precambrian bedrock and was formed during the ice age, approximately
10,000 years ago, when the edges of the glacier reached the cliff. Source
