Picture lecture in the Smeltehytta, Røros Museum by Knut Wolden

Kåppå, chrome and white sand. Formation of copper, chrome and landscape in the Røros area

Geology Day in Røros is marked with a slide lecture at the Røros Museum. Here we talk about how the bedrock and ores in Røros were formed. About continents breaking up, volcanic activity and ore formation in new oceans, and how the Caledonian mountain range was formed. We also tell how ice and meltwater have shaped the landscape we see around us today.
