Norway

Norway is a narrow country in northern Europe. It shares the Scandinavian Peninsula with Sweden and Finland.

Norway's coastline is famous for its fjords (fyords), which are sea inlets between steep cliffs. The fjords were carved out by glaciers, as were the country's mountains.

Norway has many mountains. Some of the peaks are so steep that no one has ever tried to climb them. In addition to the mainland on the Scandinavian Peninsula, Norway also owns the Svalbard island chain and three islands in the Antarctic.
