Canada borders the United States to the south and the Arctic Circle to the north. This results in a landscape diversity with endless forest areas in the south and ice and rock areas in the north, beyond the Arctic tree line. In more than 500 pictures, this volume shows the multifaceted wilderness of Canada. These include the Banff National Park in the Rocky Mountains, famous for its numerous lakes, and Niagara Falls on the border with the United States. The metropolises like Toronto, Vancouver on the west coast, as well as the French-speaking cities Montreal or Quebec, and the capital, Ottawa, are also included.
Norway is known for its mountains, glaciers and deeply cut coastal fjords. Bergen, with its typical colorful wooden houses, is a popular starting point for boat trips into the dramatic Sognefjord. This book shows in almost 500 pictures the Scandinavian country in its scenic variety but also in its seasonal diversity. Snow, ice, and polar lights in winter--the special light of the midnight sun in summer.
