Norway is known as the land of fire and ice

The answer is False.

Explanation

That nickname primarily refers to Iceland, a Nordic island nation known for its dramatic geological contrasts. The name stems from its location on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where it sits atop a volcanic hotspot with over 30 active volcanic systems ("fire") while simultaneously being covered by massive glaciers, including Vatnajökull, Europe's largest glacier by volume ("ice").
