Norway is a long scandinavian country facing the northern atlantic ocean. As the glaciers melted after the last ice age, the land slowly rose again after being compressed by the huge mass of the ice, creating the fjords we can see today all along the western coast of Norway. The steep mountainsides provide amazing views such as can be enjoyed from Prekestolen , overlooking the fjord below from 600m. For those afraid of vertigo, cities like Bergen or Stavanger or Narvik will offer some pleasant walks. |
