What country is Tromso in?

Tromso is an important city in northern Norway.

2. Tromso is called "North Gate", and the Chinese name is also "Tromso". Its position at 69.20 degrees north latitude can make people quickly understand what is called "near the North Pole". Tromso's name comes from Tromso Island, which was incorporated into Tromso in 1960. The written history of this city began at 1536. There was a businessman in history who went to Bergen to do business in a small sailboat. The first Russian merchant ship arrived here on 1725, and the barter trade with Russia helped Trondheim and Bergen bypass the commercial monopoly. This monopoly was terminated in 1789, and cities in northern Norway were able to engage in trade activities freely and equally. Therefore, Tromso became a customs territory and gained the status of a city in 1794 under the royal charter. In Tromso, many institutions have the word "northernmost". The Northern Lights Planetarium and the beautiful Tromso Museum are part of Tromso University, which is the northernmost university in the world. The Catholic and Protestant churches built in 186 1 are located in the northernmost part of the world. The northernmost brewery in the world has the only small hotel in northern Norway.

In the 1920s, when the economic value of seals began to be known to the world, Tromso developed his early Arctic fleet. In addition, many ships go out to sea to hunt whales from here. About these two activities, there are detailed illustrations in Hakata Museum: early whalers drove small boats to deal with a large number of whales in the turbulent Porter Sea; Seal hunters wander among a large group of unsuspecting seals, holding spears and forks, and hunting those helpless cubs with wide eyes. A little further north from Tromso, there is Norway's only remaining whaling station, where the only "minke whale" that is not endangered is captured.
