The High Coast (Swedish: Höga kusten) is a part of the coast of Sweden on the Gulf of Bothnia situated in the municipalities of Kramfors Härnösand and Örnsköldsvik and notable as a type area for research on post-glacial rebound and eustacy in which the land rises as the weight of the glaciers melts off of it. This phenomenon was first recognised and studied there; since the last ice age the land has risen 800 m which accounts for the unusual landscape with tall cliff formations.
