Information about NORWAY Norway is the most northerly Scandinavian country and is truly a land of contrasts. The northern region enjoys the brightest midnight summer sun and the very darkest of winters. The country is about two-thirds mountains and its much indented coastline is one of the most rugged and longest in the world with some 50,000 islands offshore. The rhythm of Norwegian life and its folklore are both shaped by the changing seasons and these are marked throughout the year with festivals and celebrations. The airy climate ensures that the food in Norway is among the tastiest in the world. Seafood is of the premium quality, and game and meat have a distinct flavour. The quality of life is arguably the highest in the world, and much is being done to ensure that this is maintained after its oil and gas reserves are depleted. Its economy is prosperous and export based, making it an important European trade centre.
