On the opposite, southeastern, side of Bommel Fjord the strandflat 

 seemed to have a similar heig-ht of between 30 and 40 metres, or in some 

 places perhaps slightly higher. The rocks are here Archæan, only at 

 Tittelsnes they are phyllite. The islands out in the sea to the west, at 

 Lyngsoi (Fig. 21, no. 123), also seem to have a fairly considerable height 

 approaching this higher level. 



On Bomlo Island the strandflat has a wide extension along its 

 western and over its whole northern part and on the islands outside. 

 The height of the strandflat is on the average between 30 and 40 metres, 

 perhaps nearer 30 metres, but many hills and ridges rise above its general 

 level even to altitudes of more than 100 metres. 



The Bomlo Island shows great variations in its geological structure. 

 The whole northern part consists of granites, the middle portion of gabbro, 

 while the southern peninsula is built up of schists, with spots of gabbro 

 and also quartz porphyry. 



On the whole the strandflat in the region of Hardanger Fjord seems 

 perhaps to have a similar tendcncv towards rising slightly seawards from 

 the inner regions as we found in Sogne Fjord. But it has to be noted
