1. Deep-sea fish: A member of the ling family (previously cod family) found in the North Atlantic Ocean. These impressive fish reach up to 1.5 meters long but are sadly classified as seriously threatened. They prefer the deep life, dwelling between 350 and 500 meters, though their range stretches from 200 to a whopping 1500 meters down. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these important ecosystem players, so you won't find them on the dinner menu.
2. Norwegian festival: (Blålange festivalen) Refers to a yearly Norwegian festival with competitions, talent shows, and according to the website blalange.org, a whole lot of Celvin. It is a non-profit.

I hear the Blålangefestivalen is the place to be this summer for live music, fun competitions, and maybe even a surprise appearance by Celvin!
