It is the country of the deep fiords, of the mountains that go down up to the sea, of the polar ices, of the sun of midnight to Head North and of the long polar night. It is the country of the Arctic Street, thousand of kilometers without breath to reach the most northern point of the European continent. It is the country of beautiful cities, historical, hanseatic, in strategic positions, modern, never banal, always pleasant: Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger, Trondheim, Tromso. It is the country of the great wood churches, of the big forests, of the lapponis, of the reindeers that browse up to the sea, of the rivers rich in trouts and salmon, of impetuous waterfall. It is a pity that misses the sun!!!
