Why is Norway warmer than most countries in the Arctic Circle?

Norway is warmer than most countries in the Arctic Circle primarily due to the influence of the North Atlantic Current, which brings relatively warm oceanic air to its coastal regions. This ocean current moderates temperatures, especially in the winter, resulting in milder conditions compared to other Arctic nations. Additionally, Norway's varied topography and prevailing winds contribute to localized climate effects, further enhancing its warmer temperatures.
