1 OUR EUROPE - NORTHERN EUROPE Europe is a small continent. People live very close to each other. More than seven hundred million people live here. Europe consists of almost fifty countries. More than half are in the European Union or EU. We have divided Europe into areas to make it easier to understand what the countries have in common and also what makes them different. In this film we will take a closer look at northern Europe. In northern Europe we have included the countries; Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, the three Baltic States; Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and far out in the Atlantic Ocean, Iceland. Three of these countries are included in Scandinavia; Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The countryside in northern Europe is varied. Here there are large forests, high mountains, many lakes, large plains, soft sandy beaches and large areas of wild country. Here you can travel for miles without seeing any houses or people. But you may come across some large wild animals like elk, wolves or bears. The Scandinavian Mountains or Fells in Norway and Sweden are a very old mountain range. Over millions of years, the weather and wind have worn away the pointed peaks. Up in the Fells there are no trees. In the winter it snows a lot. In some places the snow is packed together in thick ice sheets, called glaciers. During the last Ice Age, many thousands of years ago, northern Europe was covered by ice several kilometres thick. Everywhere you can see traces of the Ice Age in the form of large boulders and moraine. Moraine is soil containing sharp stones. Conifer trees thrive in moraine soil and Sweden and Finland are among the most forested countries in the world. A lot of paper and wooden products are produced from the forests and exported to other countries. Further south in northern Europe, it is warmer and the earth is more fertile. Large parts of the countryside are cultivated and the harvests here are good. Here beech and oak trees grow, and other deciduous trees. Finland and Sweden are also countries where there are most lakes in the world. Many lakes have formed from cracks in the bedrock made by the glaciers. The ice sheet also formed the fjords along Norway s Atlantic coast. When the ice smelted, the sea ran into the deep bays, the fjords, that stretch a long way inland.
2 In actual fact, it should be much colder in northern Europe because it lies so close to the North Pole. The mild climate is due to the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic. The Gulf Stream brings warm water from the south all the way to the North Atlantic. The sea is warmed up and warm winds from the sea blow in over the land. But they also bring with them a lot of clouds and rain. Along the Atlantic coast the climate is coastal or maritime. Further inland, far from the coast, the climate is continental. Here it can be very cold in the winter. In northern Europe there are big differences in climate and temperatures between the seasons. Farthest north, above the Arctic Circle, the winter is long and dark, and for a few weeks the sun doesn t even rise. In the summer, however, it is light in the evenings and for some weeks, the sun doesn t set. This is called the midnight sun. They begin as small streams in the mountains but become wide rivers further down in the valleys. Hydroelectric power stations have been built on the really big rivers to produce electricity. And because it s so windy, wind turbines have also been built here. There are many countries situated around the Baltic Sea. The rivers and streams in these countries carry a lot of fresh water into the Baltic Sea, but also pollution too from all the factories and farming. Therefore the countries are working together to try and reduce the pollution into the sea. This has helped, because the Baltic Sea has become cleaner and better in recent years. And the fish have also returned. In the coastal countries such as Norway, Denmark and Iceland, fishing is very important. In the North Sea and Atlantic Ocean a lot of cod, herring and shrimp are caught. Many people work in the fishing industry taking care of all the fish that are caught. They have to be cleaned, filleted and packaged before being sent out to the shops in Europe. But the sea gives more than just fishing. From large platforms out at sea, drilling takes place deep down in the bedrock beneath the sea floor and oil and natural gas are pumped out. Oil and gas are raw products that most countries in Europe want to buy. They have made Norway one of the richest countries in the world. In northern Europe, there are a little more than thirty million people living here. Most people live in cities near the sea. But when compared to other cities in Europe, these cities are quite small.
3 Even though the countryside is very different, the people of northern Europe have a lot in common. Daily life is very similar for most people and the traditions are almost the same. The fact that the countries of northern Europe are so similar is because they have had a long history, which they have shared. During various periods, the countries once belonged to each other in different ways. However, they have also had wars against each other too. The first people who came to northern Europe from the south spoke the same language, Old Norse. It is quite easy for people who speak Swedish, Danish or Norwegian to understand each other. Icelandic is a little more different but it is the language most similar to Old Norse. People also came from the east and settled in what are now Finland and the Baltic States. Their language was completely different. The Sami people live in Lapland, a large area in the very far north which extends into Russia. Sami is related to the Finnish language... There are still a lot of Sami people in Lapland living on hunting, fishing and looking after reindeer. But today, most Sami people live in other places, especially in the larger cities. Sweden is the largest country in northern Europe and also home to most people. Nine million people live here. Most live in the south of the country. In Sweden, Swedish is spoken... This long country offers many types of outdoor experiences. In the mountain fells of Kebnekaise stands Sweden s highest mountain. "That was good!" In the Baltic Sea are the islands of Öland and Gotland. Gotland is famous for its sea stacks and the medieval town of Visby. Sweden s largest city is the capital, Stockholm. The Royal Palace, Parliament and government buildings are all located in Stockholm. In Stockholm, the water is always close at hand. It is situated where Lake Mälaren and the Baltic Sea meet. In the vast archipelago, there are many thousands of islands. For a long time, Sweden has been an important industrial country. This is partly because Sweden has had many talented inventors. For example, L M Ericsson with telephones and Alfred Nobel who invented dynamite. Because it was such a long time ago that Sweden was involved in a war, Swedish industry has been able to develop and grow peacefully and steadily.
4 But, of course, Sweden is affected by what is happening to people in other countries. Refugees have come here from all over the world. Many people have also come to Sweden to look for work. Even though Sweden has such a small population, a large number of world famous people come from here. And what could be more typically Swedish than the midsummer celebrations. In Norway, people speak Norwegian The children of Norway have to learn two Norwegian languages; Bokmål and Nynorsk. Bokmål is spoken in almost all towns and cities and most books are printed in Bokmål. Norway is a very mountainous country. It takes time to go by car along the winding roads. It is more convenient and faster to fly or go by boat along the coast. The old boat line of Hurtigruten sails along the entire coast with both passengers and goods all the way to northern Norway. During the voyage, which many think is the most beautiful in the world, the boats sail in and out of the many fjords. Others go out on a whale safari. Norway is home to a little more than four and a half million people. Most live in and around the capital city, Oslo. Like many other cities in Norway, Oslo is situated in a fjord. The Oslo Fjord. Karl Johan is the name of a famous street in Oslo. It leads up to the castle where the royal family lives. Norway is not a member of the EU, but it is the country that celebrates its national day more than all other northern European countries. On 17 th May, all Norwegians celebrate the day when Norway became an independent country. In Denmark, people speak Danish... Denmark consists of the peninsula Jutland and several large and small islands. Today, bridges have been built between several of the islands. These allow people and goods to easily travel between the islands. In Denmark, it s never far from the sea. Along the coasts of Denmark there are many long sandy beaches. On the west coast of Jutland, there are sand dunes that can be over fifty metres high. All of Denmark is lowland but the landscape is not totally flat. The farmers grow a lot of sugar beet and beet for the animals. This beet is food, or fodder, for all of Denmark s pigs and cows. A lot of food produce is also exported to other countries around the world.
5 Denmark is home to nearly five and a half million people. The capital city, Copenhagen, is a large commercial city. Here there are many industries that produce goods. The country is known for its designer products. Tourists stroll along the shopping street Ströget, visit the Tivoli Gardens and the Royal Palace. The Danish royal family is one of the oldest in the world. Copenhagen is a transport centre for the whole of northern Europe. Here you find Kastrup. It is northern Europe s largest airport. The Öresund Bridge connects Copenhagen and Malmö. Many hundreds of ships and boats pass through the sound, the Öresund, everyday too, making it one of the busiest stretches of water in the world. Finland is known as the land of a thousand lakes. In fact, there are almost two hundred thousand of them. Many of the lakes are so close together that they flow into each other. It is possible to travel by boat deep into the forests for mile after mile on the lakes. The Finnish mobile phone company, Nokia, is known throughout the world, but it is the forest that provides most work and most money for the country. It s always very special when Sweden meets Finland in ice hockey. For centuries, Finland was part of Sweden. Today, a little more than five million people live in the country. And there are three hundred thousand who speak Swedish as their first language. They re also Finns but they re called Finlandssvensk in English too. Many streets and places have both a Finnish name and a Swedish name. And in schools, the children still learn both Swedish and Finnish... For a person from Finland, taking a sauna is just as natural as eating and sleeping. Almost every home has a sauna as it s called in Finnish and English. In Finland, people have been taking saunas for hundreds of years. Helsinki is the name of the capital city in Finish and English. Helsinki is situated in the Gulf of Finland. Anyone arriving by boat will see the cathedral and the Palace, where the President of Finland lives. In Helsinki you shouldn t miss walking on the Esplanaden. Many think that the market place near the city port is the heart of the city. In the harbour there are some very big ships. These ships, that are really floating hotels, sail everyday between Finland and Sweden. Ships also go to Estonia from Helsinki, which is much closer.
6 For many years the three Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were part of the Soviet Union. During that time the people of the Baltic States dreamed of governing their countries themselves. With the help of their culture including music and folk dance, and keeping their own language, they kept their dreams of a free country alive. When the Soviet Union finally broke up in 1991, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were free at last. Many of the Russians who moved here during the time of the Soviet Union still live here. That is why a large part of the population speaks Russian. In the three Baltic States most people live in rural areas. The three countries are republics and now also members of the EU. Otherwise the countries have very few natural resources. Many of their industries are old and in poor condition and sometimes dangerous to the environment. However, they are trying to modernize their industries and attract foreign companies here and many companies from other European countries have moved their factories here. A big reason for this is that the workers wages here are quite low. After millions of years and many volcanic eruptions, an island has formed here. Iceland. And Iceland continues to grow. Sometimes the hot glowing lava flows slowly down the slopes. Other times, ash and gases shoot up more than ten kilometers into the air The countryside on Iceland is very special. Inland it is almost like being on the moon. A desolate landscape of rocks and stones. Mile after mile of solidified lava. What can you do outdoors here? You could try motocross Among the first people to live on Iceland were Vikings from Scandinavia. The island belonged to Denmark before it became independent in Today, Iceland is a republic and has a president. Iceland is not a member of the EU but has applied for membership. Almost three hundred thousand people live in Iceland. Many of them live in and around the capital, Reykjavik. And the number is growing. People are moving here from the rural areas and small communities on the island, to study and find work. As the summer is short and the climate damp, it is difficult to grow corn and vegetables here. But the grass grows well and the sheep here are very happy about that.
7 When the farmers bring their sheep home from the mountains after the summer, they often use their Icelandic ponies to help them. In the past, these ponies were the only means of transport on the island. Today they are ridden mostly for pleasure. Sometimes the volcanoes have made life miserable for the Icelanders. But, having so much heat under the ground can also be very good useful. The water can be used to heat the homes and in many hot springs on Iceland, you can also bathe at any time during the year.
