Abstract
To these national trends of settling and populating there needs to be added an understanding of Norway’s differing degrees of isolation. After all, the country is nearly 1800 km. (1100 mi.) long, starting at latitude 58°N., and is composed of many divergently oriented and shaped valleys and mountain ranges. Accessibilities vary from place to place and season to season and certainly bear on the possibilities of internal migration. There is, therefore, need to classify and map the differences in isolation.
