Watched Wild Nordic Land of Ice and Snow

Watched National Geographic WILD – Wild Nordic from natgeotv.com

As seen by the Viking gods, the fabled wildernesses of Norway, Finland and Sweden are revealed from the skies above.

The Top of the World uncovers a vast frozen wilderness marked by unique artic wildlife, age-old traditions and a battle against the harshest winters.

This episode is probably the most original of the bunch, each had a little original material but a lot of very similar content. This episode was more weighted towards the people of the north.

This series is big into the zoom and accelerate editing technique, which I find compelling even though it should get old.

Apparently in the Arctic Circle the snow comes starting in August. *shudder*

Kayaking through the Fjords of Norway

Watched

Nicely edited to cut from scene to scene on the paddle stroke. Lots of beautiful places to see in Norway. Especially stricken by the clear water on one river where you can see the rocks on the river bed. Poor music choice IMO.
