Mågålaupet (also written Magalaupet, Maglaupet og Måggålaupet)[1] is a 100-meter (330 ft) long, zigzag-shaped gorge in the river Driva in Oppdal municipality in Trøndelag, Norway.[2] The narrowest point is 1.5 meters (4 ft 11 in) wide.[3] The depth is estimated at 10 meters (33 ft).[citation needed]
The gorge consists of a series of large interconnected giant's kettles formed by the river Driva since the last ice age. The bedrock in the gorge is hard gneiss,[4] and Driva is eroding it at a speed of 1 millimetre (0.039 in) per year, equivalent to 10 meters (33 ft) in 10 000 years.[citation needed]
