Norway stretches over a latitude of 13 degrees; from about 58 degrees north to slightly obove 71 degrees north.From the southernmost point on the mainland, Lindesnes, to the northernmost poin, Nordkyn, the distance between north and south is 1752 km. The coastline measures 2600 km, but if we follow the shoreline into every fjord and bay, this distance can be multiplied by ten. The kingdom of Norway also includes the Spitsbergen archipelago, in the Arctic Sea, Jan Mayen island in the Atlantic as well as Peter I's Island and Bouvet Island both in the Antarctic Ocean. Norway has a population of about 4,5 million people living in an area of 323 882 square km. If we include the additional territory listed above, it is 386 948 square km.

The land whose mighty nature soars - from white ice mountains on Spitsbergen shores - to blossoming fruit trees on the west country fjords. From northern nights where the night sun smiles - to sunny warm days on the south country isles. Rivers, waterfalls, high mountain peaks - colourful villages, city streets - This is Norway.
