I have actually never heard this fact, even though I’m from Norway! And the funniest part is that people die up there all the time because of avalanches😂 (not funny that people die, but you get my point)
@@amaliehoelwagle8154 Um, people don't "die all the time" due to avalanches... There _was_ a horrific avalanche in Longyearbyen in December 2015, which tragically killed two people (a man and a little girl). Other than that, accidents do happen, yes, but mostly with people travelling out in the wilderness. And even then, people don't "die all the time".
I mean, noone will be punished for dying, but you can't be buried there because of permafrost. And people are not allowed to live there unless they work. So if you retire you have to move back to mainland Norway.
True it's a waste of time for us Edit: he did not mean being friendly is unnecessary, quite opposite. When we first talk to strangers we would probably be overly friendly especially in the mountains
Unless we are drunk, or "dritings" as the norwegian term goes. But thats kind of a nordic thing, it's the same in Finland and most of Sweden. It's a little bit different in Denmark, but then again, they are drunk most of the time. Iceland I don't know, they are few and far between.
I actually have a friend from Norway, and he moved to the U.S. and it wasn’t a few weeks ago, that I met him again for the first time in like 3 years, because the last time we saw each other we would just play Halo together all the time. And I’ve been talking to him since. Norway went from Vikings, to really nice and calm people.
Well, if you reason it like this: We grew up. We did our rage-thing back in the day, we razed and pillaged, waged wars, conquered, controlled, now we just chill, and collect the genetic benefits! :D
Norwegian: No no it was two trolls having a rock figth. One troll throw a big boulder but he missed the other troll and made a big hole in the mountain
Great video! I think you have covered almost everything!! Missing the mentioning of how horrible the Samis have been treated though, that's a pretty important part of Norwegian history

1:48 Bouvet islands is the most remote island in the world. Funnily enough the closest inhabitet place to it is Tristen da Puna which is the most remote inhabited island in the world.
IMPORTANT!! 3:45, You are allowed to ROAM almost everywhere in Norway, but you are NOT allowed to camp everywhere. In fact, to set up camp can be forbidden many places due to several reasons. You are not allowed to camp on private or agriculture land (unless given permit), in national parks or in nature reserves. In national parks dough there are often official huts/cabins to use
When I was a teenage girl, I had the map of Norway on our wall. I got it from the embassy when we had a school project along with the posters of A-ha.

I’m from Minnesota and I am so proud of my Norwegian ancestry. I love Norway so much! I bore people to death with all the information that I know about the country and/or the Viking Age. Fun Fact: I met the Princess of Norway, Märtha Louise when I was a little boy during her book tour; met her in Minneapolis, MN. Also, I was a finalist to be a cast member on the “Alt for Norge” tv show for Season 9. It didn’t work out because I’m in college and it’s hard to schedule around that... but who knows... I could always possibly be a future contestant; the directors liked me and have wanted me to keep in touch with them until I graduate. Thanks for reading my long comment, I appreciate it. SKÅL! 🇳🇴💕♥️

Denmark: I thought you were going South... Norway: *Holding a Penguin* I did. Denmark: Then why are you holding an Emperor Penguin. Norway: The Tropics...Were just too hot.

Norway: Ha Denmark: I am never going to understand... dude what the fuck is that. Norway: *Crunches Tacos* Mexico: What all he wanted was the recipe.
The free roaming laws are much freer than you explained here. As long as you stay a minimum of 150 metres away from people's homes, you can go virtually anywhere you want.
Yeah, but no. If the terrain has been man-made (like a large garden, field, pasture or park) then it is private and you can be chased away. But the owner of a forest can not chase you away for simply camping in their forrest. Also you can stay for 2 days without asking.
@@espenklingsheim978 Of course. But do you know the rules for roads though? If somebody owns a road which goes far into a forest, I'd think they'd have to share it with other people.
Amici Nybråten you have the right to roam, not the right to drive. Either if it is a farm far up a road, an industrial area or a cabin in the woods. Private roads are private and can be locked of. In some cases there are "the right to a road" when a road must go through anoter property to connect to the public road. But that is realestate/property law, not hikers and bikerd law.

Two other small corrections: 15:30 The constitution was signed before the Swedish union began. However, the swedes let us keep it. 18:30 Spoken Swedish is closer to spoken Norwegian. Written Danish is closer to written Norwegian, as it resembles old Norwegian in many ways. At least in "Bokmål" which is the most used written language. Overall a really well made video. Thanks to Geography Now for all the work you put into this! :)

291 points yeahhh!
Have you heard about the news? They changed the jury points and Norway is not on 5th place but on 6th place.
@@Rubiagirl86 Yeah, but at least North Macedonia won the Jury, not Sweden, and Norway still won the televote!
@@riinak7212 Oh yes :) North Macedonia was my favourite song this year. I'm really happy she won the jury voting :)
wow, the mountains with the fjords in Norway are epic.
I'm Sámi and I freak out whenever we get referenced xD
We need Keith talking about music in more episodes. Love that guy XD
Keith is great. I am trying to send him some "dark" maple syrup.
He did a particularly great job in the Mauritania episode! 🇲🇷🇲🇷🇲🇷🇲🇷🇲🇷🇲🇷🇲🇷
Agree, more Keith!
I’m from Minnesota and I am so proud of my Norwegian ancestry. I love Norway so much! I bore people to death with all the information that I know about the country and/or the Viking Age.
Fun Fact: I met the Princess of Norway, Märtha Louise when I was a little boy during her book tour; met her in Minneapolis, MN.
Also, I was a finalist to be a cast member on the “Alt for Norge” tv show for Season 9. It didn’t work out because I’m in college and it’s hard to schedule around that... but who knows... I could always possibly be a future contestant; the directors liked me and have wanted me to keep in touch with them until I graduate.
Thanks for reading my long comment, I appreciate it. SKÅL! 🇳🇴💕♥️
Hope you make it on alt for Norge tho
Americans are always so big on their heritage
@@vikingboat6347 Lol chill. It's not a big deal.
@@kasperknutsen8283 If you read it more carefully he said he hasn't been on Alt for Norge yet. Because of college getting in the way, maybe in the future though.
@@More_Row oh yeah i just read it really fast
I really liked this episode of my Norway!
10:31 I like how they added Apetors photo Ep! Ep!🍾
Wow, an actually well-made video made by non-norwegians about Norway. I am intrigued
Yeah, Geography Now kinda does that.
(Well, for countries in general)
what the.. you don't know this guy O_o he's always like that
They forgot the grandiosa, how is it well made
@@markusmidtboe957 all wars have their casualties ;)

Kygo and Alan Walker are also Norwegian.
Feil. De e fra Fana, Nasjonen Bergen

Alan Walker is Half British Half Norwegian
@Axel Stabursvik umm eg meine den rema 1000 reklamen. Vil du ha en link?
U did a GREAT job trying to pronounce the norwegian words! Really impressed.
I’ve been to the kontiki museum, also the Arctic exploration museum is amazing. It’s a beautiful country, but expensive.
Norway: I should get territory further south
Norway: wait to far
Denmark: I thought you were going South...
Norway: *Holding a Penguin* I did.
Denmark: Then why are you holding an Emperor Penguin.
Norway: The Tropics...Were just too hot. I mean yeah I know I did have some African territory but ...yeah........Not my jam.
Denmark: So Antarctica?
Norway: Ha
Denmark: So more Snow...
Norway: Ha
Denmark: I am never going to understand... dude what the fuck is that.
Norway: *Crunches Tacos*
Mexico: What all he wanted was the recipe.
The free roaming laws are much freer than you explained here. As long as you stay a minimum of 150 metres away from people's homes, you can go virtually anywhere you want.
That's the correction I wanted to make also, so I second that.
Yeah, but no. If the terrain has been man-made (like a large garden, field, pasture or park) then it is private and you can be chased away. But the owner of a forest can not chase you away for simply camping in their forrest. Also you can stay for 2 days without asking.
@@espenklingsheim978 Of course. But do you know the rules for roads though? If somebody owns a road which goes far into a forest, I'd think they'd have to share it with other people.
@@theamici Privet roads are just that, privet and will many times be blocked of to public use
Amici Nybråten you have the right to roam, not the right to drive. Either if it is a farm far up a road, an industrial area or a cabin in the woods. Private roads are private and can be locked of. In some cases there are "the right to a road" when a road must go through anoter property to connect to the public road. But that is realestate/property law, not hikers and bikerd law.
Small correction at 18:34
Sweden is still not part of NATO (though it is regularly discussed by politicians and media).
My fav singer, AURORA, is from there🇳🇴✨, she voiced the North Wind Call, (calling Elsa "ahh-ah-ahhh"), and her music feels like wonderland, fantasy, magical, mystical, angelic, etc.

Never mind found my towel Im good
@@An_Ian As long as only a petunia pot plant lands on your head, not a whale, you're good. 👍
18:34 Small correction. Sweden is NOT part of NATO.
yes, this is important!
Two other small corrections:
15:30 The constitution was signed before the Swedish union began. However, the swedes let us keep it.
18:30 Spoken Swedish is closer to spoken Norwegian. Written Danish is closer to written Norwegian, as it resembles old Norwegian in many ways. At least in "Bokmål" which is the most used written language.
Overall a really well made video. Thanks to Geography Now for all the work you put into this! :)
What da flip flop is NATO
It’s important to all non-NATO countries in Europe, Ireland and Switzerland too, passionately neutral.
@@daraocadhain2835 Its hard to be neutral on the topic of freedom vs communism, but whatever.
I'd love to visit Norway. Love from Greece
I believe the Norwegian tree goes to London in Trafalgar Square every winter as thanks from WW2
Someone mentions norway in any way
Norwegians: ho ho ho nå blir det kult

Found this channel when I started uni. remembering calculating when you would get to Norway. Now, here I sit with a law degree, three weeks before graduation being all wrong with my calculations (missed by two years. Law school for you), and really happy that it coincided so well.
I'm from Norway
It's pretty nice up in the mountains
Roald Dahl's parents were from Norway and spoke Norwegian at home, surprised he wasn't in the famous Norwegians list.
The norwegian 100 200 50 and 500 kroner bank notes recently changed designs

They're super pretty. Just came back from my first trip to Norway.
@@lukasoitzl133 the old ones were outdated but the new ones arent really pretty (maybe the ship on the 500 tho).
@@correctionguy7632 I like them just because they are so colourful and modern compared to the euro or the pound. My favourite is the 200 with the fish.
I almost spat my drink when you said “Ha” 😂 ... it’s ‘Hæ’ - the ‘æ’ is pronounced like the ‘a’ in ‘cat’
Det er så sant
Det forvirra meg og, eg bare sånn hæ
So it is literally another letter for ä, but not German.
Is it pronounced like ‘hat’? I’m still trying to learn Norwegian language I’d appreciate some help;-;

Love your videos man.
