Trolltunga, Norway



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
