Norway
DestinationsNorway is composed of 19 counties (fylke) that function as both geographical and political dividers. The country covers an area of 387,000 square km (roughly the size of California) out of which 84% is the mainland while the islands of Svalbard and Jan Mayen in the north make up 62,000 square km (24,000 square miles). The country is even longer and narrower than Sweden. The distance from south to north is 1,750 km (1,085 miles). At the widest point from west to east, Norway is 430 km (267 miles), while the narrowest stretch is only six km, in Tysfjord just south of Narvik.
