Norwegian Nature & climate

Norway is a country of mountains, Fjords and glaciers. During the ice age both the ice and the rivers carved deep valleys in the mountains. As the climate changed, most of the ice melted, and the valleys were gradually filled with salt water from the coast, thus creating the Fjords. Not all of the ice melted though, leaving parts of the high mountain areas covered with ice, thus creating the glaciers.
As Norway is far north the summer evenings are light, and past the Arctic Circle the Midnight Sun shines during the summer nights. Nature has thus offered us some of the most exotic and spectacular tourist attractions in the entire world.
The climate of the western coast is relatively mild due to the warm waters of the Golf current, which passes along the coastal strip, with comfortable summer temperatures around 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, and winter temperatures mostly above zero degree Celsius (+32º F). The inland and the mountain areas normally have cold winters with snow, excellent for winter sport activities.
The climate in the western Fjord areas is excellent for fruit growing, with the most spectacular late spring fruit blossom you have ever seen. The strawberries, cherries and raspberries are extremely tasty due to the growing conditions of the short, bright summers. The long coast provides us with fresh fish and seafood, and the smoked salmon is our specialty!
