About the map

Norway World Map
Norway on a World Map

Norway is located in Northern Europe, along the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea, and the North Atlantic Ocean. It’s part of the subregion of Scandinavia with Sweden and Finland. Norway shares a land border with Sweden to the east, and Russia in the far northeast.

Norway includes the remote Arctic archipelago of Svalbard as part of its boundaries. But most of its population resides on the mainland. For example, Oslo is the capital and largest city, which is also where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded.

Norway is also home to many mountains, including the tallest mountain in Northern Europe, Galdhøpiggen. The country has a varied landscape, with everything from forested hills to glaciers and snow-capped peaks. In the north, the climate is Arctic, with long, cold winters and short, cool summers. But in the south, the climate is more temperate, with milder winters and warmer summers.
