nAtnage 42, Haakon actually has an older sister, Princess Martha Louise.nIt seems surprising in this day and age that the royal line goesnthrough male heirs only, but that’s how it is in Norway. Actually, Inwas surprised to read that Norway’s royalty isn’t as much just anfigurehead as so many other kings and queens are these days. n

nInwas interested to read that Norway’s length and geography meant thatnit had more different kinds of habitats than almost any othernEuropean country, because I figured that any country that far northn(it’s one of the northernmost nations in the world) and thatnmountainous (it’s one of the most mountainous countries in Europe)nwould have mostly just snow and ice, seals and reindeer. However,nmore than 60,000 different species in Norway and its waters reflects morenbiodiversity than I had thought!

One thing that mountainous countries with lots of melting snow and ice tend to have is gorgeous waterfalls… And, oh yeah, this is gorgeous!
