Nature and Wildlife
Norway is so long that it spans several climate zones from the Arctic zone in the north to the temperate zone in the south. The land rises up from sea level to a height of 2,469 metres. This means that there is great diversity in what lives and grows in Norwegian nature.
In the sea
Seals - there are seven different species of seals in Norway, from the rare walrus in the Arctic to species that you see along the entire Norwegian coast, often in colonies on the outermost skerries.
The population density in Norway is low. Only two per cent of Norway's area is developed. The rest is nature. Wild and beautiful.
In the air
Eagles– the sea eagle is Northern Europe's largest bird of prey, and the largest ones have a wingspan of almost 2.5 metres. This impressive bird is a common sight along large parts of the Norwegian coast.
On land
Moose - the largest land mammal in Norway. Including the antlers, it can reach a height of over two metres. Found in forests throughout Norway and is called the King of the Forest.
Flora
Cloudberry - the golden jewel of northern marshes. The berry is much sought after for its taste as well as its high vitamin C content.
