Muddus Plains

Erosional and Karst Formations

The Muddus plains are a landscape type in northern Sweden characterized by flat topography dotted with inselbergs, first described in detail by Walter Wråk in 1908. They form part of the wider Norrland terrain, and the northern, lower levels of South Norway's paleic surface are considered equivalent to the Muddus plains.
