Norway

It was Roald Amundsen who set out from the Bay of Whales and used dog teams for the entire journey, unlike Scott who man-hauled his sledges and who had only four sets of skis for five men, starting from McMurdo Sound and taking the extremely difficult route up the Beardmore Glacier.

I recommend the book "The Worst Journey in the World" for a very moving account of the Scott expedition. It was written by the man who found the bodies of Scott, Wilson and Bowers.

Monthly 24-hr averages range from −5 °C (23 °F) in January to 11 °C (52 °F) in July for Hammerfest in Norway

Alaska, Canada, and Greenland are closer to the North Pole, while Siberia and Norway are also closer to the North Pole but farther south compared to the other three. Greenland is the closest to the North Pole out of the mentioned regions.

In Norway on December 25th, there are only a few hours of daylight. In locations like Oslo, there may be around 5-6 hours of daylight depending on the specific location. The further north you go in Norway, the less daylight hours you can expect.

Latitude at Fairbanks . . . about 64.83 degrees north.

Latitude at Oslo . . . about 59.91 degrees north.

So Fairbanks is further north than Oslo by about 4.92 degrees,

or roughly 340 miles closer to the north pole.

The east coast of the U. S. (UTC-5/UTC-4) is usually 6 hours behind Norway (UTC+1/UTC+2). However, the difference is 5 hours during the 3 or 4 weeks per year when the U. S. is on Daylight Saving Time/ Summer Time but Europe is not, from the 2nd Sunday of March to the last Sunday of March and from the last Sunday of October to the 1st Sunday of November.

The Norwegian Sea is connected to the North Atlantic Ocean. It is located off the coast of Norway and stretches between Norway, Iceland, and Greenland. It is an important body of water for marine life, fishing, and maritime transportation.

Not where I live, by the western coast. But It snows a lot in the northern and central parts of norway, yes.

Yes, glaciers are famous in Norway. Norway is home to many glaciers, including the largest glacier in mainland Europe, the Jostedalsbreen Glacier. Glaciers are important natural attractions in Norway, drawing tourists from around the world to witness their beauty.

The Gulf Stream helps to moderate the climate on the western coast of Norway, creating milder winters compared to other regions at similar latitudes. This warm ocean current brings in relatively warm water from the Gulf of Mexico, which helps to warm the air above it and maintain a more temperate climate in Norway.

The vast majority of Norwegian territory is not islands, but due to the long and rugged coastline, there are many tens of thousands of them.

The largest one on bona fide Norwegian territory is Hinnøya, at 2204,7 sq km).

The largest one on de facto Norwegian territory (Svaldbard) is Spitsbergen, with 39044 sq km.

The world's most isolated island, the tiny (58 sq km) uninhabitated Bouvet Island in the south Atlantic, is also Norwegian.

Factors that affect Norway's weather and climate include its high latitude, proximity to the North Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf Stream, mountainous terrain, and prevailing wind patterns. These factors contribute to Norway's cool summers, mild winters, high precipitation levels, and varying climate conditions from region to region.

Because the clouds are sad there.

BECAUSE of the prevalence of OROGRAPHIC LIFTING that takes place:

The mountainous terrain of Norway allows for orographic lifting to occur. This is when cold air masses, which are always found at Norway's latitude, are forced to rise when they collide with a topographic barrier (in this case, mountainous ranges). The water vapors in the rising air masses then condense to form clouds as it reaches the lifting condensation level or the dew point. All the precipitation (i.e. rain) has their source in these clouds.

In Iceland, they have a lot of volcano's so most of the disasters are from volcanic eruptions. They also have earthquakes but not as often but when they come they can be pretty powerful. Other than that, there arent as many records of other natural disaters.

The botanical name for Norway spruce is Picea abies.

This could be a fjord however the exact definition of such is rather complex and there are only four locations in the world where true fjords are found: Norway, Greenland, British Columbia and New Zealand. Other possibilities could include: an inudated river, a narrow bay, a long wide ocean inlet.

Norway is to vast for you to use any "average" value as an indicator on how the weather is in Norway. There are coastline climates, inn-land climates, vast forests and massive mountains after the little incident with Greenland 400million years ago (crashed into Norway).

In the winter, most of Norway has subzero degrees (Celsius degrees), usually between -5 to -30 high up in the mountains, to 2 to -2 at coastlines.

In the summer time you can expect 12-24 in Most areas, and as usual, sub-zero degrees in the mountains.

Norway is much warmer than Alaska because of the gulf stream.

Norway extends farthest north among Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The northernmost point of Norway is the North Cape, which lies at around 71 degrees north latitude.

While the Sun is above the horizon, you can't really talk about "night".

As you go further and further towards the North Pole (or South Pole), the longest day becomes longer, and the shortest day becomes shorter, until in extreme cases (after crossing the polar circle, at a latitude of 66.5 degrees), during part of the year the Sun won't set at all, and during another part of the year, the Sun won't rise at all.

The Barents Sea is a large cold ocean to the north of Norway, bordered by Norway and Russia. It is known for its rich marine life and importance for fishing and oil and gas exploration. The sea is ice-covered in winter and supports a variety of marine mammals and seabirds.

Yes, Iceland has around 130 volcanoes but only a few of them erupt regularly. For example "Hekla" and "Krafla" and the most horrible volcano in the world which erupt and blocked the way for airplanes to fly through.

The city with six months of continuous daylight followed by six months of continuous darkness is Longyearbyen in Svalbard, Norway. This phenomenon is due to its high latitude within the Arctic Circle.

This phenomenon is known as the midnight sun and polar night, which occur in higher latitudes due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. As a result, during summer months the region experiences 24 hours of sunlight, while in winter it experiences 24 hours of darkness. The closer a location is to the North Pole, the longer the period of continuous daylight or darkness will be.

The North Atlantic Current brings warm water and air to Norway, creating a milder climate than other regions at similar latitudes. This helps keep Norway's coastal areas ice-free and supports diverse marine life. However, changes in the North Atlantic Current can also impact Norway's climate and ecosystems.
