Martin Rundkvist<p>Having discussed "fjärd", here's another landscape feature that's super common around Stockholm but apparently nowhere in the <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/English" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>English</span></a>-speaking world: "häll". It's an almost horizontal, smooth, slightly convex expanse of gneiss or granite bedrock. It's what's left of a taller outcrop after the inland ice has ground it down.
