Where is Norway in Europe?

Norway, the full name of the Kingdom of Norway, means "the road to the north", located in the west of Scandinavia. Norway is long and narrow from north to south, with a long and tortuous coastline and numerous coastal islands. It is called "the country of ten thousand islands", and the winding coastline constitutes a unique fjord scenery. In addition, Norway shares borders with Sweden, Finland and Russia. Norwegian territory also includes Svalbard and Jan Mayen, the capital of Oslo. The official language is Norwegian. The main religion is Christianity and Lutheranism.

Lofoton means "Bobcat's feet" in Norwegian, and it also implies that a series of steep islands "Lofoton Wall" rise from its territorial waters. This "Lovell East Wall" forms a 160 km barrier between the western fjord and the North Sea. The warm current in the Gulf of Mexico makes the winter here relatively warm and humid. Every year from June to the end of April, 65438, a large number of fish will gather in the shallow waters of Lofton to lay eggs, and a large number of fishermen will flood in at this time of the year. There are fewer fishermen on Lofoton Island, but the number of tourists and artists has increased. The fisherman's hut, which has created the history of Lofton, has become a holiday home for tourists who come on holiday. Trondheim in central Norway is a small city. From here, you can take a train north through the Arctic Circle to Bode, and then take a ferry from Bode to the Lofoton Islands opposite.
