In the central south, there are many plateaus created by glaciers, whilst the coastal areas are dotted with numerous rocky islands and islets. The capital, Oslo, is situated within the southern Skagerrak and is home to 12% of the total population, which numbers 5,051,518, according to 2012 estimates.
