modern ski binding with
iron lugs (1894), the gas
turbine (1884), the cheese slicer and the paper clip.
The mining town of Røros
is Norway’s only mountain
city. Its about hundred
timber houses are all on UNESCO's World

from a poor peasant
named Sondre Norheim
who grew up in the valley
of Morgedal.
Norway actually has half
of Europe's Atlantic coast.
