Norway’s coastline stretches for 25,000 kilometers, the longest coastline in Europe. It is made up of thousands of islands and hundreds of fjords; Sognefjorden, having a length of 204 kilometers, is the longest fjord in the world. Fjords are deep and narrow channels carved into the coast through glacial erosion.

Lemmus lemmus - Lemmings are rodents primarily found in the tundra environments of the Arctic. The Norway lemming is common throughout the Fennoscandia Peninsula and is the only vertebrate endemic to the region. Lemmings are well known for their dramatic rise and fall in population levels. During an exceptional good year with plenty of available food, the lemming population will soar to spectacular levels not sustainable the following season and resulting in the population suffering a sudden and steep decline.
