Geography
Explore the geographic features that help explain Norway.
A long coast carved by fjords
Norway stretches along the western Scandinavian Peninsula, where fjords cut deeply into the coast. Fjords are glacial valleys flooded by the sea. Inlets, islands and peninsulas create an exceptionally long coastline linked by ferries, bridges and undersea tunnels.
[1]Water descending from mountains to sea
Much of Norway is mountainous or upland, leaving limited flat farmland. Moist western air brings heavy rain and snow to windward slopes, while eastern areas are drier. Steep rivers and waterfalls fed by snow and glaciers support hydropower.
[1]Arctic light and sea
Northern Norway reaches above the Arctic Circle, bringing midnight sun in summer and polar night in winter. The warm ocean current keeps much of the coast milder than continental places at similar latitude. Latitude and sea currents shape fishing, ports and seasonal life.
