Hi my name is Drew. I live in Norway. Norway is one of the three countries that
serve Wale! Norway is one of the five countries that face the Arctic Ocean. Norway
is very close to the North Pole. You can take a plane from Norway to the North Pole!
You actually can not take a plane to the North Pole from Norway unless it is a private
jet. You can take a plane to Tromso. Tromso is the closest you can get to the North
Pole from Norway if you are not on a private jet. Some private jets can not even go
to the North Pole! In Tromso there are many mountains in the middle of the water.
The capital of Norway is Oslo. There are planes to Tromso there. Every year in July
for a few weeks the sun never goes down, this is called the midnight sun. This happens
in Tromso. Every year at the end of November to the end of January the sun never comes
up. This happens in Tromso. I hoped you liked exploring Norway with me!
My name is Sarah, and Norway is one of the countries that I am studying this year
in America.
Norway is a beautiful country. It is one of the larger countries in Europe with
100,000 square miles. It is long and skinny, and has many little islands. Norway is
full of waterfalls, mountains, and glaciers. Norway is sometimes called "The Land of
the Midnight Sun." This is because from May to June the sun never sets from Norway;
it is sunny all the time. From November to January the sun never rises; it is dark
all the time.
Norway has almost 5 million people. They are proud of their ancestry, the Vikings.
The official language in Norway is Norwegian, although most of the people in Norway
learn English also. If you are Norwegian you are usually tall, have blond hair, blue
eyes, and light colored skin. Most people that live in Norway are quite rich because
it is the second richest country in the world. It is also the fifth most expensive
country to live in. The fish industry, the manufacturing industry, and the oil
industry are the main ways the Norwegians earn their money. The national sport in
Norway is skiing. Most Norwegians start learning how to ski once they are able to walk.
Norway's capital and largest city is Oslo. The winter Olympics were held there in
1952. Norway did quite good in the games that year; they got 8 gold medals, 2 silver
medals, and 5 bronze medals.
