Welcome to a journey in Norway!

Norway, officially Kingdom of Norway (Norwegian Kongeriket Norge), constitutional monarchy of northern Europe, occupying the western and northern portions of the Scandinavian Peninsula. It is bounded on the north by the Barents Sea, an arm of the Arctic Ocean, on the northeast by Finland and Russia, on the east by Sweden, on the south by Skagerrak Strait and the North Sea, and on the west by the Atlantic Ocean, which in Norway is also called the Norwegian Sea.
The nature of Norway is famous for its great variety and contrast. Norway is an extremely mountainous land, nearly one-third of which lies north of the Arctic Circle. Its coastline is, in proportion to its area, longer than that of any major country in the world. These geographical facts have been especially significant in the historical development of the nation.

Jotunheimen, one of the greatest mountain-areas in Norway.
