Geocache Description:

A courier just delivered a handwritten message to your door. It reads:

My dear friend and intrepid traveler,

After much planning, I have prepared a new and exciting challenge for you. Called Around the World in 80 Caches!, it requires patience, ingenuity, and the ability to handle the unexpected. In this journey, you will be venturing into several countries, 80 in all, in search of concealed artifacts. The countries will lead you to continents, and the continents will lead you to the ultimate prize, hereafter known as "The World." Based on your experience and past adventures, I am confident you will succeed. As always, travel safe and be sure to document your findings. I look forward to hearing all about your grand expedition.

Your great admirer,

Jules Verne

IMPORTANT NOTE: Information in this cache will help you solve Europe: ATW80 (GC1MGAC), a puzzle cache tied to the European countries.

Norway is slightly larger than Germany. Norway is also the second largest exporter of seafood. Norway has a rugged coastline broken by huge fjords and thousands of islands. It was rated the most peaceful country in 2007.

Due to Norway's high latitude, there are large seasonal variations in daylight. From late May to late July, the sun never completely descends beneath the horizon in areas north of the Artic Circle (hence Norway's description as the "Land of the Midnight Sun") and the rest of the country experiences up to 20 hours of daylight per day. Conversely, from late November to late January, the sun never rises above the horizon in the north, and daylight hours are very short in the rest of the country.

Constitution of Norway: "United and loyal until the mountains of Dovre crumble."

You are seeking a round tin hidden deep in the natural cammo here. Inside you will find a geocoin, a pathtag, Ipod Protection Case, Hacky Sack, Keychains, Deck of Cards, Shell and more assorted swag.
