 NorwayNorway - Land of the Midnight Sun (there seems to be more than one, including Finland and the state of Alaska). In the upper reaches of Norway during the summer, the sun never fully sets, generating extraordinary hues of scarlet, gold, and violet in the northern skies. The Norwegian Tourist Board succinctly describes a visit to Norway as "A nature so incredibly beautiful one can't help but feel spiritual. Overall, a vacation in Norway feels like a spa treatment. Norway will capture your heart and renew your spirit." From art, beauty, and culture to hiking, skiing, and whale watching, Norway has something for everyone. © 2009, The Globe Pequot Press, LaVerne Ferguson-Kosinski Information by Europe by Eurail
