Norway is a part of scandinavia. Scandinavia is Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
What do Norwegian people generally look like?
Norwegian are mixed with Sami people and Dutch are not.
Norwegian tend to look more Mongolian than the Dutch, especially in northern Norway.
A well known Norwegian-America actress is Renee Zellweger. She can be compared to the German actress Marlene Dietrich for an idea of differences.
Though both have blond hair, Renee is less Saxon in bone and facial structure than Marlene.
Renee's Saxon and Mongolian mixed look is very common in Norway.
In Germany, the eastern European look meets Saxon as opposed to the Lapps or Sami meets Saxon.
Germans can look like Austrian Arnold Scharzenegger or Germans Friedrich Nietzsche and Albert Einstien or Turkish actress Hülya Koçyiğit.
Depending on the region, many Germans may have brown hair and eyes. In other regions such as Northern Germany blond hair and blue eyes are common place.
Many people still assume all Germans and Scandinavians are all tall broad shouldered blond haired and blue eyed people of Hitlers war posters.
This false stereotype is the opposite of the truth. Hitler only selected one portion of the German population to idolize.
Though many Germans do have a square jaw and resemble Arnold Scharzenegger and Friedrich Nietzsche. There really is not a "one look fits all" Germans.
There is a lot of variation in Germany as anywhere.
A troll is the norwegian word for an ogre, but can not really be compared to anything. It is a beast often living in the woods, scary but it can have nice sides as well. Trolls are most often mentioned in norwegian tales or fairytales. They are big and stupid, easy manipulated. They are filthy and some of them have trees growing on their head. All of them have long hair. One do not believe that trolls exist, but rumor has it that they used to, but when they got hit by the sun, they turned into big rocks. That is the explanation why large rock can be found on weird places (they used to be a troll).
The most famous troll in Norway can be found in Hunderfossen Familepark in Lillehammer (yes, that is the olympic city) three houres away from the capital Oslo.

Why did norwegians migrate to america?
Although Norwegians settled all across America, large concentrations & populations settled in the upper midwest, particularily in Minnesota & North Dakota. Minnesota has the highest number of ethnic Norwegians, there are about 1.5million Norwegians in Minnesota, about 30% of the total population of Minnesota & about 35% of the Norwegian population in America. & North Dakota has the highest percent of Norwegians, estimates put it as high as 70.1% of the 642,000 people living in North Dakota trace their family roots back to Norway. There are also significant populations in South Dakota, Wisconsin, Montana, Washington & the city of Chicago, which each acuire a 10-15% scandanavian state population (ecluding Chicago). Norwegian immigrants & Scandanvian immigrants from countries other than Norway, have very similar if not close to identical population trends. Where you can find large Norwegian populations you can most likely also find large Danish, Finnish, Iclandic & particularily large Swedish populations as well. Just like the Norwegians, Minnesota has the largest number of Swedes in America & outside of Sweden. 15-20% of the Minnesota population is Swedish. In a lot of parts of northern Minnesota & in North Dakota, people still speak Norwegian or Swedish & some cities have their first language of the city enlisted as Swedish or Norwegian. I hope this helped:)
