Hearing the Norwegian name many people already drag first. Expensive! Even the most expensive in the world! Yes indeed. But Norway has a lot of charms that are rarely found in other countries. What are the attractions that make many people willing to spend a lot to be able to visit it?.

1. Aurora Borealis
Norway is not the only country that promises the light of paradise dancing-Alaska, Canada. But Norway be one option because aurora sticking out not only in one place there. There are Tromsø, Lofoten, and Svalbard. So the chances are layered.

By the way what is the aurora anyway? Aurora is a natural phenomenon that is the result of the planet's magnetic field and the charged particles emitted by the sun. The light is of red, green, yellow, pink and blue. Aurora can only be seen when the sky is very bright and in a total dark place. Aurora is only seen around the North Pole and South Pole. In the north is known as Aurora Borealis, while in the south Aurora Australis.
2. Fjord
Because the coastline is in cliffs and forms many gulfs that jutle extremes into land, Norway has a lot of fjords. Fjords are found in many Scandinavian and North American countries.

What is fjord? The fjord is a bay made up of very deep and long glacier melts. So deep and long, the scenery that was created was amazingly dramatic. One of the most famous fjords in Norway is the Sognefjord which is 203 km long, which is one of the longest fjords in the world. Tourists enjoy the fjord usually by joining the sea safari.
3. Trolltunga
Trolltunga is the most spectacular cliff name in Norway. Norwegian tourist brochures put many photos of this Trolltunga. The protruding stone tongue at the edge of the cliff lies at an altitude of 1100 m above sea level, and 700 m above Lake Ringedalsvatnet in Skjeggedal. Spectacular!
4. Fisherman Village with its Rorbu
Many gorgeous fishing villages in Norway include Reine, Nusfjord and Hamnøy in Lofoten Islands. The village atmosphere is unique because of the presence of rorbu around the harbor. Rorbu is a typical traditional red house.
5. Cod Fish (Stockfish)
Norwegian waters are rich in cod. The peak of his capture in January to April when the cod lord moved from the Barentz Sea to Vesfjorden. That's when fishing activities become very interesting especially in Lofoten Islands. Every year at the end of March is the World Cod Fishing Championship held in Svolvær, one of the villages in Lofoten, followed by hundreds of participants.
6. Sami Experience
The Sami are scattered in several Arctic countries such as Northern Norway, Northern Sweden and Northern Finland. Most in Norway. They keep sheep and wildebe as the main income. Well, the Sami Experience package offers you a deer ride on the snow and eat typical Sami food. We also show them how to throw lasso (rope) and sing joik (traditional song Sami).
7. Polar Bear
Seeing the polar bear in its natural habitat must be a thrilling experience that will be remembered for life. In Svalbard that possibility is quite large because the polar bear population is more than the human population. And Svalbard is the northernmost place in the world that has a permanent polar bear population.
8. Polar Night
In Svalbard we can feel the darkness all day and night called polar night. This phenomenon is common from October 26 to February 16. This happens because the sun is 6 degrees below the horizon.
9. Midnight Sun
In contrast to polar night, this phenomenon goes also in Svalbard where the sun shines for 24 hours from the period April 15 to August 26.
10. Dog Sledding
Yes, although it looks less Norwegian. Where tourists take the sled trains pulled by a flock of dogs.

May be an inflation and beautiful scenery 🙏 peace of peace @ mawardy
