The 6.500 islands of Åland emerged very slowly from the bottom of the sea.
At the birth of Christ, the Åland island group was well formed with cliffs and valleys, woods and plains, bays and creeks. At this time the sea level measured ca. 12 meters higher then today. The land evaluation continues with a rate of 60 cm per 100 years even today.
Several hundred thousand of years ago the sun, natures only source of heat, must have eclipsed because the entire Northern Hemisphere became covered with a 4 kilometres thick layer of ice, which ever so slowly moved south and finally melted on the mid European highland. About 10.000 years ago the land ice began to give way, the ground began to regain its shape by rising upward as the water sank.
When Åland finally was free from ice boundage, only 3 points of Åland was visible, that of Orrdalsklint and Kasberg both in Saltvik and the cliff of Geta. About 5.000 years ago the water had dropped down to a level, which was 54 meters higher then today.Åland’s highest point is Orrdalsklint, 132 meters above sea level next is Kasberg with a height of 116 meters and third is the massive cliff of Geta, 107 meters high.
By Prof. Matts Dreijer, 1963
De högsta delarna av Åland började stiga ur havet för 10 000 år sedan. Det var de högsta bergen i Saltvik: Orrdalsklint, Kasberg och Långbergen. De syntes då som små skär långt ute i Yoldiahavet.
På den tiden såg naturen helt annorlunda ut än den gör i dag. Klimatet var varmt som vid Medelhavet och skogarna dominerades av lövträd.
