As the South Swedish Dome uplifted, this resulted in the formation of a piedmonttreppen and the obstruction of the Eridanos River, diverting it to the south. [10] While being repeatedly covered by glaciers during the Quaternary (last 2.58 million years), Fennoscandia has seen little effect on any changes in its topography from glacial erosion.
