Struve Geodesic Arc	Cultural	(ii) (iii) (vi)	The Struve Arc is a network of triangulations stretching from Hammerfest in Norway to the Black Sea and crossing 10 countries in more than 2 820 km. The arc is formed by the points of a triangulation made between 1816 and 1855 by astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve and representing the first exact measurement of a long segment of the meridian. This triangulation has helped define and measure the exact size and shape of the Earth; it has played a vital role in the development of earth sciences and the establishment of accurate topographic maps. It is a great example of scientific collaboration between researchers from different countries and cooperation between monarchs for a scientific cause. Originally, the arc consisted of 258 main triangles and 265 main fixed points. The listed site includes 34 original fixed points, with different markings - holes drilled in the rock, iron crosses, cairns or obelisks.	UNESCO sheet

Great Copper Mountain mining area of 60.5515.61662 Falun	Cultural	(ii) (iii) (v)	The huge mining excavation known as the Great Pit is, in Falun, the most striking feature of a landscape which illustrates copper production in this region since at least the 13th century. Both the planned city of Falun, born in the 17th century and endowed with several magnificent historic buildings, as well as the industrial and domestic remains of settlements scattered over much of Dalarna offer a vivid picture of what was, for centuries, the one of the most important mining regions in the world.

High Coast / Kvarken archipelago shared between Sweden and Finland	Natural	(viii)	The Kvarken Archipelago (Finland) and the Upper Coast (Sweden) are located in the Gulf of Bothnia, which extends the Baltic Sea to the north. The 5,600 islands and islets are mainly distinguished by the curious dented crested moraines, or Geer moraines, formed by the melting of the continental ice sheet formed between 10,000 and 24,000 years ago. The Kvarken Archipelago continuously rises from sea level due to rapid glacial-isostatic recovery, when a land previously compressed by the weight of a glacier rises after the latter has disappeared. of this recovery rate in the region, one of the highest in the world. With the advancing coastline, islands appear and unite, peninsulas grow, lakes form from bays and become swamps and peaty fens. The High Coast has also been largely shaped by the combination of glaciation processes, retreating glaciers and the emergence of new lands. Since the final retreat of the high coast ice, 9,600 years ago, the rise has been in the order of 285 m, which corresponds to the most significant obvious “rebound” ever observed. The High Coast is an exceptional site for understanding the important processes that formed glaciers and the earth's surface uplift zones.	UNESCO sheet
