Brave tourists are more than eager to risk their lives and stand on top of the Kjeragbolten boulder in Norway. Do you think you could also stand atop this perilously-placed rock?

The Norwegian island of Spitsbergen is known for its Svalbard Global Seed Vault, located about 810 miles (1,303 km) from the North Pole. This secure seedbank preserves various plant seeds, duplicates or “spare” copies of seeds from gene banks from around the world, in an underground cavern. If the seeds are lost in gene banks, the Seed Vault will provide insurance, and in case of large-scale crises it will provide a shelter for them.

These are members of the UK’s ProBASE base jumping team in Norway. Base jumpers jump off of stationary structures and then freefall for as long as they can before opening their parachute rather than of jumping out of an airplane.

Norway is home to numerous fjords and seemingly endless natural beauty. However, sometimes you have to take a vanishing bridge to arrive at your destination. The Storseisundet bridge will trick your mind but luckily not your car.

Norway is an interesting country. It loves using natural materials that is why local residents always built their houses from wood. But this is not the only unusual thing about Norway. Local houses also have amazing grass roofs called “turf roofs”. They have been popular here for hundreds of years.

Luxurious Prison in Halden (29 pics)

Posted in Pictures 5 May 2010   / 13880 views

The second-largest Norway’s Halden Prison opened on April 6. In case you are planning to commit a crime, better do it in Norway. This country has spent $252 million to build a posh prison for 252 inmates.

Every cell is arranged in units of 10 to 12 and just looks gorgeous. It reminds of a college dorm except this prison is even better. Every cell has a private bathroom, modern furniture and a flat-screen TV. By the way, there are no bars on the windows so you get a nice view.

There is a gym, football field, a library and, believe it or not, a sound studio in Halden Prison. This is ridiculous, but Halden spent $1 million on graffiti all around the grounds!

This prison is more luxurious than many apartments in Europe.

Two guys had fun last summer in Norway by chasing a Google Street View car, disguised in their scuba gears.
They said what started as a simple joke has become very popular on the Internet and they didn’t expect that.
These are by far some of the best Google Street View pictures…

Norwegian Green Prison (14 pics)

Posted in Pictures 15 Jan 2010   / 9386 views
This is the Bastoey Prison which is situated on a deserted island in Norway. It’s actually a ‘green prison’!
The prison produces electricity with the help of a solar panel which was installed by the inmates. There is also a garden where the inmates grow vegetables and a farm where they are looking after domestic animals like cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. As they are on an island, they can go fishing for more food if needed.
This prison is not for dangerous criminals, as a matter of fact, there are no walls or wires that could prevent inmates from escaping…

Mysterious and Fantastic Phenomenon Never Seen Before (7 pics + 1 video)

Posted in Pictures 10 Dec 2009   / 9572 views
Early yesterday morning, the residents from Alta and Tromsø in Norway have witnessed a fantastic natural phenomenon. The local newspapers started to publish photographs submitted by readers: in the sky above Alta and Tromsø was formed a giant spiral with a blue glow inside. The spiral twisted right in front of astonished spectators. Photos that were sent were taken by amateurs, so it’s not the best quality.
Northern Lights are not uncommon in the Arctic and everyone got used to it there, but this time, it is something quite unusual...
