"100 Natural Wonders of Norway" is the ideal book for everyone who loves Norwegian nature. It contains the most splendid areas of natural scenic beauty, from fjords to mountains, from coast to interior. The book takes you on a walk over the gently undulating Finnmarksvidda Plateau, along the idyllic coast of Southern Norway for a dip in the sea, through the old forest in the depths of Nordmarka and to the top of Norway's highest mountain, Galdhopiggen. While including all Norway's national parks and famous tourist attractions such as Preikestolen, Geiranger, the Jostedalbre Glacier and the North Cape, the book also describes more mysterious places, for example, the island of Reinoya in Porsanger, Hitra Island in Trondelag and its abundance of birds, the primeval forest at Draegnismorki-Yttrismorki, the Jutulhogget Canyon in Hedmark and the traditional cultivated landscape on the island of Jeloya in Ostfold. The text is easy to follow and each chapter has an inset of facts with the most important information. The book is lavishly illustrated featuring over 240 colour photographs taken by Norway's leading nature photographers. The book is a fantastic journey through Norway.
