The High Coast (Swedish: Höga Kusten) is a part of the Swedish coast on the Gulf of Bothnia, situated around Örnsköldsvik and notable as the "type area" for research on isostacy, the phenomenon having been first recognised and studied there. UNESCO, while inscribing the area on the World Heritage List in 2000, remarked that "the High Coast site affords outstanding opportunities for the understanding of the important processes that formed the glaciated and land uplift areas of the Earth's surface".
