Short
Facts
Area: Norway has
324220 km² (149000 sq mi), about the same amount of land mass as
Germany. Its capital is Oslo, which is located the South of the
country. It occupies the western and smaller portion of the
Scandinavian Peninsula. Its 15000 km (9000 mi) of indented coastline
reaches from the North Sea to the Arctic Ocean. Mountain forests,
valleys, fjords, plains and wasteland make up the land. Only about
4% of the land is suitable for farming.
Climate:
The Gulf Stream tempers the climate and keeps fjords and harbours
ice-free during the winters. Winters are cold; summers can be quite
warm. The annual range of temperatures increases generally from east
to west and from north to south along the coastline. During the
summer in the north of the country you can experience the midnight
sun, which means there are long days in the summer and long nights
in the winter.
