Covering a vast expanse of 385,207 square kilometers (148,729 square miles), Norway shares a lengthy eastern border with Sweden and is flanked by Finland and Russia to the northeast, with the Skagerrak strait marking its southern boundary. The country boasts an extensive coastline that opens up to the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea.
