5Norway

Norway’s location within the Arctic Circle subjects it to extreme cold, particularly in its northern regions.

The Svalbard archipelago, part of Norway, experiences long, dark winters with temperatures dropping below -40°C (-40°F). However, the Gulf Stream tempers the climate along the coast, creating milder winters in some areas.

Homes and buildings are designed with insulation and heating systems to withstand freezing temperatures.
