The highest peaks are located between the capital Oslo and Trondheim. The Galdhoepiggen and the Glittertind are the highest peaks at about 2650 meters. More than half of the country lies above 500 m, about a quarter above 1000 m. Between the fjords one often finds the "fjell", an uninhabited rocky plateau. Norway has extensive glacier areas. At 815 km2 , the Jostedalsbreen is the second largest glacier field in Europe. Rivers and streams are unnavigable for shipping due to the many waterfalls and rapids. Approximately 3% of the total area is agricultural land. An even smaller percentage consists of cities and roads. A quarter of Norway is covered by forests, the rest by mountains, rivers and lakes. There are about 15,000 islands in Norway, of which only about 2,000 are inhabited.
