Norway is located in Northern Europe, occupying the western part of the Scandinavian Peninsula. It shares land borders with Sweden to the east, and Finland and Russia to the northeast. To the west and north, Norway is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean. The country covers an area of approximately 385,200 square kilometers, making it one of the largest countries in Northern Europe, with a vast coastline and numerous islands.
Norway has an extensive network of rivers, which, while relatively short, are fast-flowing and important for hydroelectric power generation. The most significant river is the Glomma, the longest in Norway, followed by the Lågen and the Drammenselva. These rivers play a key role in the country’s energy production, as hydroelectric power accounts for a significant portion of Norway’s electricity supply.
The geography of Norway is renowned for its rugged terrain, dominated by mountains, plateaus, and glaciers, as well as its iconic fjords, which are steep, glacial valleys flooded by the sea. The western coast, in particular, is lined with these fjords, creating a dramatic and unique landscape. In contrast, the southern and southeastern regions feature more fertile land. Norway’s diverse geography results in a varied climate, with coastal areas experiencing milder winters and colder, more continental conditions in the inland and northern regions.
Administratively, Norway is divided into 11 counties (fylker), each with its own regional government, and further subdivided into municipalities. The population of Norway is approximately 5.5 million people, with the majority concentrated in urban areas, particularly in the south, including cities like Oslo, Bergen, and Trondheim. Despite its relatively low population density, Norway consistently ranks high in terms of quality of life and human development.
