That's one tunnel, out of more than a thousand. It's not even the strangest thing about this country's geography. Not even close. Norway's coastline, counting every fjord and island, stretches over 63,000 miles — more than twice the circumference of Earth, on a country roughly the size of New Mexico. Above the Arctic Circle, the sun doesn't set for 76 straight days, then doesn't rise for two months — a condition so disorienting that Norwegian psychiatrists have documented "summer insomnia" affecting 15% of Arctic residents. The Sognefjord drops over 4,000 feet deep, deep enough that NATO submarines have operated inside it completely hidden from satellites. Norway claims a piece of Antarctica with no southern border at all — a territorial claim that technically extends to infinity. The country is still rising out of the sea by up to 6mm a year, forcing it to continuously remap its own coastline. And geologists have already identified the exact mountain above one of Norway's most visited fjords that will collapse and send a 230-foot tsunami through a tourist town at 100 miles per hour — they just don't know the date. Norway is not the calm, quiet country you think it is. It is one of the most violently extreme landscapes on Earth, wearing a postcard as a disguise. Discover 15 hidden geographic facts about Norway that reveal just how extreme, alive, and unlike anywhere else on Earth this country truly is. Stick With Us Till The End to Find Out More!
