Thanks for watching the video! This wasn't the most impressive attempt at Norway (or Geoguessr in general), but I have plenty of other videos where I do much better :) Make sure to leave a comment suggesting a country for next time, and follow me on Twitch! twitch.tv/chicagogeographer

[@nanach6276]

I used to work at the building on the left at 9:29 there:P

[@petfama4211]

Lol, seeing you saying definitely northern on almost all of them without considering altitude or season as factors was funny to watch

[@aidanh1712]

Your eyes can hear?

[@Blodfjez]

Aidan Humphrey Your mouth can shit?

[@ellerasmussen4168]

Haha our whole country is northern looking, so its difficult to judge

[@ChicagoGeographer]

This is true lol

[@TastySwift]

@@ChicagoGeographerduring winter there is actually snow in the southern parts as well😳

[@Hope00Love]

I'm from Norway, and I also found this difficult! But a good way to tell north from south in the country is to look at the tree line. Above the arctic circle trees don't grow above 300 meters and they're just generally few and far between.

[@Debre.]

I'm really glad you finally played this map. I absolutely love Norway. Unfortunately you didn't get any of the cool fjord regions but maybe next time. )) At least you did have Sognefjell on the last round, the highest mountain pass in all of Northern Europe. After almost a year, they finally restored the highway numbers :O (it was actually about two weeks ago, forgot to tell you about it). Right after I sent them my second report complaining about the absolute idiocy of not displaying a country's two most important routes on the map, idk if that had anything to do with it though. Another thing; please add Hungary to the country spotlight list. It's probably not the most interesting country around but I'd like to see you try to pronounce Nyíregyháza, Berettyóújfalu or Hajdúszoboszló. :P

[@ChicagoGeographer]

Yeah I was thinking that I saw the road numbers that you mentioned. Good thing they fixed it finally! Maybe your message did help out haha. Hungary would be very fun!

[@Debre.]

@@ChicagoGeographer Just make sure to look at a topographic map of the country before playing. Very few places in Hungary have mountains, so when they do show up they can be immensely helpful. Geoguessr map: www.geoguessr.com/maps/5c69e11c1554906e04dede26

The last round was in the particular mountain region of Southern Norway. Like in other countries topography matters a lot though it's hard to tell from a bird's eye view map, with only faint topographical markers. The vegetation is rather similar in the very north of Norway in Finnmark - perhaps the easiest way to distinguish is that Finnmark is one of the few flat areas in Norway. Having been in both areas I knew this, but I still found it hard to pinpoint the exact locations, props to the people who did.

[@DidrickNamtvedt]

I'm from Bergen and found it hilarious when you were way up in the north trying to find it but the most important thing is that you did find it eventually! :)

[@peddal]

When you want to find the road number in Norway, the easier way is to look for the Yellow Diamond signs (Forkjørsvei) they always have a sign under that says what road you are on. Almost all geoguessers I've seen, just ignore, or don't see, those signs.

[@ggthirsty]

Northern looking? Yea, its Norway. Everything is north :p

[@Jonas-fr3yd]

There is still a distinction between north and south.

[@simens8646]

Regarding the last location, Krossbu is a popular mountain lodge at almost 4000ft above sea level in the Jotunheimen national park. At that elevation there will be no trees even in southern Norway, where the tree line is at ~3000ft.

[@avienated]

I'm glad you enjoyed the landscape. We have so much of it, that we barely see the beauty of it. But I think you would enjoy a road trip in Norway, cause it's like this everywhere, some places even better =)

[@robixax]

Sittin in Bogen, the fact that you you acually saw the small ass town was surprising😂

[@corpeltof]

I'm new to GeoGuesser videos, and almost had a heart attack when I immediately recognized the road towards Heimsjøen, where my Grandma grew up, and my family got a cottage!

[@jonathanqos7472]

On the first round you were about a ten minute drive away from my place haha, I was getting so annoyed you didn't realize how big Bergen was and kept looking in the north. Anyways, some good rounds there!

[@Debre.]

The second biggest city in Norway. :/ :D

[@ChicagoGeographer]

I'm extremely annoyed as well. It's basically the equivalent of me not remembering that LA exists lol

[@mwickholm]

You were really to close to Norway's tallest mountain, Galdhøpiggen, in the last round (18:31). When you're in the region, maybe Finland next? It would be nice to hear you pronounce some Finnish names. :)

[@ChicagoGeographer]

Finland is definitely on my list!

[@worldsmostretardedperson]

@@ChicagoGeographer don't forget about Glittertind

[@worldsmostretardedperson]

At the last one, I saw a light blue coloured creek, so I immediatlely knew it was western Norway. Northern Norway doesnt have glaciers, only western. Good job

[@elitepace3609]

Whole of Norway looks like it is northern. Also amazing video

[@Sachoza]

hahaha "they dont have roads on svalbar" cracked me up haha. ofc do they got roads up there, even airports, city and tourbusses 🤣

[@simonolthenorwegian]

Funnily enough, on the first round where you saw Knarvik on the map. That was actually the wrong Knarvik. There's another Knarvik west of Bergen which was the one the signs were leading to.

[@bruddahmikes]

gald u played geoguessr in Norway beacouse im from Norway! amazing

[@missdead1]

game: where in norway? whole of norway: all you see from ANY road is trees and mountains Also driving over sognefjell is amazing! Krossbu has awesome waffles, lol.

[@ChicagoGeographer]

The map that I played in this video features all of Norway!

[@bareenlars]

Thanks for the Challenge, happy with my #15 place =)

[@kristena9285]

The last one seemed northern because of the elevation... It's a mountain road.. 🙂

[@jublixtno1442]

Nice video, i live in Tønsberg :)

[@marskl1]

The mountains in northern Norway are more pointy than in the south. That’s a tip for you.

[@notkirbyxlfalt7546]

Wait 4:44. Thats the way to my grandma and my grandpa House 1 hour driving time from Trondheim!

[@RogerBaklund]

overnatting = "over-nighting", they have beds for rent

[@heyitsgabriel1]

i have been at the first location that you played

[@2600D4u]

Got 10.6 meters away from number 3 :)

[@bloodyfitnerd1947]

"yeah I don't see it" 2:13 Well, that's not that odd now is it? :P

[@zade.design]

Awesome video Norway is stunning! Please play Jordan next!! Mapper has a great map of it

[@ChicagoGeographer]

Thanks! I'll definitely play Jordan at some point!

[@timewave02012]

If you want something different that will really kick your ass, try my "Ocean Views (hard)" where every location is within sight of an ocean or well-connected sea/bay/etc. I also have a "scenic and isolated" if you get sick of the water but like the scenery. Looking for signs or searching the mini-map for location names won't help for most of the pins on either map, so it kind of forces a different way of playing the game.

[@magpie_cat]

10:29 i definetly know where that is

[@lille0le502]

værste delen er at han kunne bare snudd seg og gått sør over så hadde det vært en million skilt i rund kjøringa der

Im from norway and i got triggered on everything lol, good video man, but norway, its just trees and mountains😂😂😂

[@kristoffereide2488]

Me too, close to Madla.....

[@torsteinaskeland9581]

I live 5 min from the first one

[@tobe2472]

im getting super triggered by how you are pronouncing the different places XD

[@ChicagoGeographer]

Hahaha I am definitely not good at Norwegian pronunciation!

[@tobe2472]

@@ChicagoGeographer ye. haha

[@avienated]

That was just entertaining :) Honestly, learning to pronounce Norwegian is a lot of work. I dislike when Americans don't care about pronounciation on foreign words and names they use a lot, but to expect them to be able to pronounce our small language is too much :)
