  • What do you know about Norway? What is so good about Norway? Why Norway is so interesting? Let me give you 11 interesting - super cool and fascinating facts about Norway!
    ⏱⏱⏱ TIME CODES:
    00:00 WELCOME TO NORWAY 🇳🇴
    01:38 1️⃣ Lærdal Tunnel - the world’s longest tunnel is in Norway
    02:46 2️⃣ Norway has a land border with Russia
    04:02 3️⃣📍Kirkenes is FARTHER EAST than all of Finland
    05:23 4️⃣📍Real HELL is in Norway. Nearby Trondheim 😉
    06:30 5️⃣ Modern and Ancient Skiing ⛷ were INVENTED IN NORWAY
    07:55 6️⃣ Norway always wins Winter Olympics
    09:10 7️⃣ Norway has a VULCANO 🌋
    10:05 8️⃣ Cheese Slicer was invented in Norway
    10:54 9️⃣ Norway is NOT powered by oil
    12:00 🔟 NO ONE KNOWS How long is Norwegian Coastline is
    13:12 1️⃣1️⃣ NORWAY 🇳🇴 is NOT CALLED NORWAY
    😱 The world's longest road tunnel is in Norway
    At an astonishing 15 miles (24.5 km) long, the Lærdal Tunnel is the world’s longest. Costing 1 billion Norwegian kroner to build (that's about USD $110 million) the tunnel connects the small communities of Lærdal and Aurland.
    Its design is admired all around the world, as it incorporates features to help manage the mental strain on drivers. Every 6km there is a cave to separate sections of road. The lighting varies throughout the tunnel and caves to break routine and provide a varied view.
    😱 Norway has a land border with Russia
    This one had me scratching my head and checking a map when I first moved to Norway. Although there is just one road crossing, the Norway-Russia land border is 120 miles long.
    The Storskog crossing on the E105 highway is the northernmost road border crossing in Europe. In September 2017, a new tunnel and bridge opened on the Norway side of the border, decreasing travel time for those crossing the border.
    😱 Kirkenes is farther east than all of Finland
    At only 9 miles (15 km) from the Russian border, Kirkenes is one of Norway's most interesting places from a social perspective. As it's so close to the border, there is a big Russian influence.
    😱 Norway is home to Hell
    A little over one thousand Norwegians can say they live in Hell. The small village is within walking distance of Trondheim's international airport and even has its own train station.
    Take a short walk from the station via a signed forest trial and you'll find some crude rock carvings of reindeer, believed to be around 5,000 years old.
    😱 Modern and ancient skiing were invented in Norway
    Sondre Norheim is said to be the father of modern skiing. In the late 19th-century, he began using stiff ski bindings so he could swing and jump with less risk of falling. His new ski design - the Telemark ski - led to the modern skis we know and love.
    😱 Norway rocks the Winter Olympics
    Following the 2018 games in South Korea, Norway's total medal haul stood at 368, including 132 golds, from the 23 competitions. Their closest rivals in the table are the United States (305/105) and Germany (238/92).
    😱 Norway has a volcano!
    Norway's only active volcano is on the island of Jan Mayen in the Norwegian Sea.
    It's about half-way between Norway and Greenland, north of Iceland, and is considered together with Svalbard for administrative purposes by the Government.
    😱 Norway gave the world the cheese slicer
    The cheese slicer was invented way back in 1925 by Thor Bjørklund and has become a staple of all Scandinavian kitchens, and many others around the world.
    😱 Norway isn't powered by oil
    While the Norwegian government says Norway will be carbon neutral by 2030, that only takes into account domestic emissions, and not the much larger amount embedded in its oil and gas exports.
    😱 No-one knows how long Norway's coastline is!
    Stretching all the way from the Oslofjord down to the sunny south, in and out of the many western fjords and then stretching out for many, miles northward before bending around the top of the Scandinavian peninsular to meet with Russia, only one thing's for sure: It's very long!
    😱 Norway isn't called Norway!
    In fact, the full name of the country is actually the Kingdom of Norway. In Norwegian, this is written as Kongeriket Norge, or Kongeriket Noreg in nynorsk.

      Yes, Norwegians sailed and landed in and around Canada and the northern United States, at approximately 1000A.D., about 500 years before Christopher Columbus was even born. The Norwegians were fantastic sailors, for previously 1000's of years. Norwegians and Scandinavians were circumnavigating the globe long long before others in the world.

      We don't actually know where the name comes from. One theory is it means the way north, but there are two others. One is that it means the narrow lands or the way across narrow fjords. A third one, perhaps most fascinating, is it means the way to Nor; the forgotten first king of Norway, who is supposed to have united Norway hundreds of years before King Olav the Holy.

    "Hell" comes from the old Norse word "hellir", which means something like rock cave or cave under an overhang. It also means "luck" in Norwegian.
    Hell in Norwegian is "Helvete", but in old Norse mythology Hel, the daughter of Loki and Angerboda, rules over the dead in Hel or Helheim.

    Then took the Lærdal Tunnel back to Aurland but construction in 2 areas so traffic was slow the whole way, didn't get a chance to stop at the rest areas but looked really cool.

    In the North our relationship with Russia is really important we've shared a "border" for around a thousand years yet we're the only country Russia borders who they haven't invaded. We also had a shared trade language during the Pomortrade called "russenorsk" which is a mixture of the 2 languages this had lead to some Russian words remaining in Northern dialects like "kartanka" or "krale"
    Also the Russian city of Murmansk was called "Romanov-na-Murman" before the October revolution where "Murman" was the Russian interpretation of "Nordmann" (Norwegian) and the Barents Sea was called "Murmanskoje morje" or "nordmannshavet" (Norwegian sea)
    So our countries (at least the northern parts) share a deep connection that have lasted for millennias

    Norway did not only invent the cheese slicer, other things that are more world-wide used that is a Norwegian invention is the aerosol/spray can that is widely used today for almost everything from hair spray to paint cans.

    Hell means Luck in Norwegian. I understand why people find the name funny.
    A funny fact about the olympic medals. I do not remember which year it was, but this one year one of the tv channels that was showing the olympics had 3 transparent pipes which was meanth for each type of medal (gold, silver and bronze). For each medal won by us they would put a ball in the pipe belonging to that type of medal. The pipes were cut in the lenght they though were so long that we would never be able to fill up, but the pipe for gold medals had to be changed out with one that was much longer because we filled it in a couple of days. Everyone was shocked, even us norwegians. We had more gold medals alone than what most countries got in total.
    Before anyone says it's stupid, skiing is for us what american fotball is for USA. We take great pride in it

    Mainland is-29,750 km
    Islands- 73,187 km
    Nobody knows? well it is the third longest in the world. Just behind Indonesia

    • @AudunWangen
      @AudunWangen 2 года назад

      The coastline length depends on cartographic generalization, or in layman's terms the resolution of detail used for measure. The higher resolution, the longer it gets, especially if it's very jagged.
      The principle is very easy to demonstrate. Take a large jagged object like a rock and use a string to measure it's circumference by holding it tight. Now try again, but make sure you include all the nooks and crannies.

      The first patented paperclip is Norwegian, but that design is not the one you're using. That is an earlier English design. He clouldn't afford the patent fee but the older drawings are still in the patent archive in Britain.
      It was marketed under the brand "Gem" - which is the Swedish word for paper clips.
