The One Place on Earth Where Sea Level Is Falling (No One Knows Why)

There’s a place on Earth where the ocean isn’t rising—it’s actually falling, and scientists are still trying to explain it. In parts of Scandinavia, the land itself is slowly rising due to a process called post-glacial rebound. As the ground lifts upward, it makes sea levels appear to drop relative to the coast. This rare phenomenon is a leftover effect from massive ice sheets that once covered the region thousands of years ago. Watch now to discover why this one place is defying global sea level trends.
