text_original: He walked a whole day through those mountains which, proceeding at intervals like foot hills from the principal chain trav  ersing the length of Xorway, slope gradually down to the sea ; so that the coast of that country is a mere succession of promontories and fjords, while inland it is nothing but a series of mountains and valleys, a strange conformation, which has caused Xorway to be compared to the skeleton of a great fish. It was no easy matter to travel in such a region.
