Located exactly on the meridian of Greenwich, between Norway and Iceland, 300 km south of the Arctic Circle, the country is a harsh land, battered by strong winds and snow storms. But its people, descendant of Vikings, worked hard to build a rich and socially equalitarian nation. Nowadays, the country is one of the global leaders in the usage of wind energy to generate electricity.
