There _was_ a horrific avalanche in Longyearbyen in December 2015, which tragically killed two people (a man and a little girl).

      Unless we are drunk, or "dritings" as the norwegian term goes. But thats kind of a nordic thing, it's the same in Finland and most of Sweden. It's a little bit different in Denmark, but then again, they are drunk most of the time. Iceland I don't know, they are few and far between.

Private roads are private and can be locked of. In some cases there are "the right to a road" when a road must go through anoter property to connect to the public road.

    Fun Fact: I met the Princess of Norway, Märtha Louise when I was a little boy during her book tour; met her in Minneapolis, MN.
    Also, I was a finalist to be a cast member on the “Alt for Norge” tv show for Season 9. It didn’t work out because I’m in college and it’s hard to schedule around that... but who knows... I could always possibly be a future contestant; the directors liked me and have wanted me to keep in touch with them until I graduate.

    There is a funfact about the relationship between Nepal and Norway that should be mentioned. Due to the preservation of the mountains, it's not really allowed to drive heavy machinery up the mountains. Since people (tourists?) want to go to the top of mountains, Sherpas from Nepal are payed to build stairs up various mountains to make it easier to access. The stones are either air lifted with a helicopter, and moved slightly, or carried up. There are a lot of stone stairs that are not made by the sherpas obviously, but it's still a fun fact. So you can come to Norway and just walk a long ass staircase up a mountain.

    Dear Norway,
    Please know that if the world seems scary and confusing, you are always welcome to come back. We miss you. We feel incomplete without you.
    Best regards,
    Denmark

    Sweden is still not part of NATO (though it is regularly discussed by politicians and media).

      Two other small corrections:
      15:30 The constitution was signed before the Swedish union began. However, the swedes let us keep it.
      18:30 Spoken Swedish is closer to spoken Norwegian. Written Danish is closer to written Norwegian, as it resembles old Norwegian in many ways. At least in "Bokmål" which is the most used written language.
      Overall a really well made video. Thanks to Geography Now for all the work you put into this! :)
