This MERIS (MEdium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) image shows
southern
Norway. Towards the right of the image at the top of the Oslofjorden is
the
country's capital, Oslo. Visible are Norway's many thousands of glacial
lakes.
The largest of these, Lake Mjosa, is situated just north of Oslo.
Despite
it being July snow can be seen covering the mountains of the Jotunheim range.
This range includes the country's and Scandinavia's highest point,
Galdhopiggen,
at 2,469 m. On the western coastline of the country we can
see Norway's numerous
fjords, the deepest of these being Sognafjorden,
also the longest in Norway,
extending inland for over 204 km.
In southwestern Norway is the city and port of
Stavanger, hub of Norway's petroleum industry.
