Excerpt from The World's Markets for American Products: Norway Norway has no very important rivers, but there is a large number of minor streams. Most of these are on the western slope, flowing directly to the coast or to the numerous fjords that penetrate it. On the eastern Slope the streams do little more than begin their course in Norway. The rivers of most importance are those that flow to the southern coast, discharging their waters into the Skager Rack. Of these, the chief are the Glommen, which is about 400 miles long, and its affluent, the Lougen. The principal rivers in the northern division of the country are the Tana, which forms part of the boundary between Norway and Finland and flows into the Arctic Ocean, and the N amsen, emptying into the Atlantic. None of these rivers, owing to numerous falls and rapids, are to any extent navigable. There are many lakes in the interior, but they are generally small, most of them being in reality mere expansions of river beds. The largest of these lakes is the mjosen, which is over 50 miles in length and has a surface area of about 200 square miles.
