Norway, located in Northern Europe, experiences distinct seasonal changes due to its high latitude. Particularly in the Arctic Circle, such as Tromsø and Svalbard, the sun does not set for weeks during the summer.

Here, from around the end of May to the end of July, the phenomenon of the "midnight sun" occurs. The further north you go, the more nights you will experience seeing the sun.

Besides Norway, several other countries also have places where the sun seems to never set, including Iceland, Sweden, Canada, and Finland…

The Norwegian national flag is a red flag with a blue cross bordered in white that extends to the edges of the flag; the vertical portion of the cross is shifted to the sides.

The official flag has been in use since July 17, 1821. The red and blue colors are influenced by the French flag, while the design is inspired by the flags of the United Kingdom and the United States. The off-center white cross is similar to that of the Danish flag.

This country's flag is considered "the mother of all flags" because it contains the flags of six other countries, including Finland, the Netherlands, Poland, Thailand, France, and Indonesia.

While the Indonesian and Polish flags both have red and white, the order of the colors is reversed; similarly, the Dutch and French flags both have blue, white, and red, but the colors are arranged in the opposite direction horizontally and vertically.
