*. Population: 5,432,580 *. Total area: 385,207 km2 (148,729 sq mi) If there's a competition for the most beautiful country on earth, Norway would surely be a podium contender. They capture epic fjords, grand mountains, gravity-defying rock formations and impossibly picturesque island villages. The great news for travellers is that the country's breathtaking natural wonders even those in remote corners can be explored with ease by train, cruise ship or by foot via hiking trails. Visit YouTube, search 'Norway tour, time lapse, Norway trip, hike, adventure' or you can search by cities, towns and attraction sites. You will love the videos. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-7938735/amp/Spell-binding-pictures-Norways-epic-landscapes.html 41 Likes 12 Shares

If not that the Nigerian international passport is very useless and can only take u to hungry and meaningless countries, these are interesting places to see the beauty of nature. I envy the citizens of those countries whose passports are powerful enough to visit anywhere in the world and at anytime without the stress of queuing at embassies for visas that have 99% chance of not being granted ![]() 277 Likes 18 Shares |

The Oslo-Bergen railway, pictured, passes through beautiful forests, loops around Voss and arrives at Bergen with its passengers no doubt awestruck by what they've witnessed. Jotunheimen National Park, in southern Norway, is a densely forested region that's home to reindeer, elk, mink and wolverines. It offers spectacular drives along 200 mountain peaks. Dørålen nature preserve in Hedmark county is a magnificent sight in autumn seen here from the Rondane mountain. The rust-coloured birch trees in Rondane National Park and the Smiubelgen mountain range covered by a dusting of snow in autumn is a sight to behold. Smiubelgen means 'the blacksmith's bellows' 11 Likes

Fjords are often described as 'nature’s own work of art', formed as seawater flooded valleys created by retreating glaciers.
