Norway's Myths and Facts
Home » Norway » Norway Activities And Attractions » Norway's Myths and FactsNorway is often associated with cold, snow and polar bears in the streets. In fact, although Norway is situated so far north in Europe, the summer temperatures often rise above 25 degrees Celsius. Although you can see polar bears wandering around on Norwegian territory, you would have to travel to Spitsbergen, which is located much further north than mainland Norway, close to the North Pole.
Being one of the world’ leading seafaring nations, Norway is also associated with fish. There aren’t many places in the world where you can get as good a seafood dinner as you can in many Norwegian coastal towns. Winter sports are another area where Norwegians excel. The Norwegian people take pride in the numerous Olympic medals that Norwegians have won for skiing.
But what Norway is best known for, and what people travel from all over the world to see, is the magnificent scenery. The waterfalls, mountains, fjords, glaciers and islands.
