Horgesenj. »Gjov« leads from Selletræ on Ostero in an easterly direction to Skaale by Skaalefjord, i. e. right across a peninsuia. Very often a stream flows in the bottom of a »Gjov«, bnt it is hardly possible that the stream should have worn away the »Gjov«, which doubtless originated in a splitting of the rock, though in the conrse of time the »Gjov« became widened by the action of the stream. Owing to the niimerous small rock-ledges and the flowing water, these »Gjovs« (ravines) are covered with luxuriant vegetation (P'ig. 10), and the damp.
