Norway (Paperback)

Carved by massive glaciers, deep fjords indent the entire cost of Norway. Ships can sail far inland, passing tiny fishing villages and traditional farms, bright and crisp against a backdrop of snow-covered mountain peaks. The Vikings sailed from these very places, and their descendants -- hardy, hospitable people -- have kept Norway among the world's greatest seafaring nations. From Oslo to the Arctic north, this guide highlights the history, culture and natural wonders of Europe's longest country, as enthralling under the summer midnight sun as in winter when the Northern Lights dance across the heavens.
