Norway

About Norway

Norway stretches along the western edge of the Scandinavian Peninsula in northern Europe, a land of deep fjords, glaciers, and islands reaching far above the Arctic Circle, where summer brings the midnight sun. Its capital, Oslo, sits at the head of a fjord in the milder southeast. Rich in fish, oil, and hydropower, Norway pairs its Viking heritage with a national passion for skiing and the outdoors.

• ·A king penguin at Edinburgh Zoo named Sir Nils Olav holds an official rank in the Norwegian King's Guard and has been knighted.
