Norway, the land in the light of the North, entices with untouched nature and magnificent landscapes. Between fjords and mountains, tranquil lakes alternate with roaring waterfalls, while dense dark forests give way to bright, lovely valleys. Oslo, as well as Bergen, Trondheim, and Alesund, are the centers of the country with their vibrant urban life and were the starting points for the great Norwegian explorers from the Viking era to the present day. Whether one marvels at the fascinating play of colors of the midnight sun during the bright summer nights or the grand natural spectacle of the Northern Lights during the long winter nights, Norway's nature captivates everyone. About 170 images showcase the land of the midnight sun in all its beauty and diversity, from Cape Lindesnes to the North Cape. Specials report on the classics of Norwegian literature, music, and painting.
