The Kingdom of Norway (Norwegian: Kongeriket Norge (bokmål); Kongeriket Noreg (nynorsk)) is a Nordic country occupying the western portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula in Europe, bordered by Sweden, Finland, and Russia. Norway has a very elongated shape; the country's extensive coastline along the North Atlantic Ocean is home to its famous fjords. The Kingdom of Norway also includes the Arctic island territories of Svalbard and Jan Mayen: Norwegian sovereignty of Svalbard is based upon the Svalbard Treaty, but this does not apply to Jan Mayen. Bouvet Island in the South Atlantic Ocean and a claim for Peter I Island in the South Pacific Ocean are also external dependencies, but these are not part of the Kingdom. Norway also claims Queen Maud Land in Antarctica where it has established the Troll permanent research station.
The main foreign languages (primærfremmedspråk) taught in Norway are English, German and French. People may contact the authorities or take their exams in any of the three main foreign languages as well as in the two other Scandinavian languages (Danish and Swedish).
Any Norwegian student who is a child of immigrant parents is encouraged to learn the Norwegian language. The Norwegian government offers language instructional courses for immigrants wishing to obtain Norwegian citizenship.
Climate
The climate of Norway is surprisingly temperate for such a northerly country; this is mainly due to the North Atlantic Current with its extension the Norwegian Current warming the air temperature, and the prevailing southwesterlies bringing the mild air on shore.
Normal monthly averages range from -17.1°C in January in Karasjok 129 m amsl. [3] to 17.3°C in July in Oslo - Studenterlunden 15 m amsl.[4] The warmest year average temperature is 7.7°C in Skudeneshavn in Karmøy, and the coldest is -3.1°C in Sihcajarvi in Kautokeino (excluding higher mountains and Svalbard); this is a 10.8°C difference, about the same as the temperature difference between Skudeneshavn and Athens, Greece
The warmest temperature ever recorded in Norway is 35.6°C in Nesbyen. The coldest temperature ever recorded is -51.4°C in Karasjok. The warmest month on record was July 1901 in Oslo, with a mean (24hr) of 22.7°C, and the coldest month was February 1966 in Karasjok with a mean of -27.1°C. Southwesterly winds further warmed by foehn can give warm temperatures in narrow fjords in winter; Tafjord has recorded 17.9°C in January and Sunndal 18.9°C in February.
Average daily minimum temperature in January is -6.8°C in Oslo, -4.8°C in Kristiansand, -0.4°C in Bergen and -6.5°C in Trondheim and Tromsø. The average daily high in July is 21.5°C in Oslo, 20.1°C in Kristiansand, 17.6°C in Bergen, 18.4°C in Trondheim and 15.3°C in Tromsø
Cuisine of Norway
Norwegian cuisine is in its traditional form largely based on the raw materials readily available in a country dominated by mountains, wilderness and the sea. Hence, it differs in many respects from its continental counterparts with a stronger focus on game and fish.
Modern Norwegian cuisine, although still strongly influenced by its traditional background, now bears the marks of globalization: Pastas, pizzas and the like are as common as meatballs and cod as staple foods, and urban restaurants sport the same selection you would expect to find in any western european city
