Norway

Country Facts

Norway has to its credit the world's longest, most pristine, coastline and more than 150,000 islands and fjords. This ruggedly beautiful country is home to Vikings, polar bears, stave churches and the heavenly aurora borealis. Norway offers unique experiences, some of which include bathing in sunshine at midnight, being awed by majestic fjords and the brilliant blue of the Nordic glaciers, plucking mushrooms and berries as you tread across a mossy forest and laughing at awkward walruses glide gracefully into pristine waters. To get under Norway's skin, read Jostein Gaarder's 'Sophie's World', watch 'The Pathfinder and listen to composer Edvard Grieg.
