About the Author

More often found exploring Africa, the Middle East or his adopted home in Spain, Anthony nonetheless fell in love with Norway the first time he laid eyes on her. Like the altogether more clamorous destinations that he usually frequents, Norway's hospitable people and the drama of its landscapes call him back to Norway time and again. In addition to more than 30 guidebooks for Lonely Planet, including the previous edition of this book, Anthony works as a photojournalist for newspapers and magazines around the world with a particular focus on travel and the environment.
