Thank you for such a good video of Northern Norway.🎉 My maternal side came from Oslo but my paternal side are from the Lofton islands. My grandmother said the last name was Inglebrightsons but when people emigrated in the early 20th century to Canada they took the name of the farm. The farms name was Vall place and when my grandmother went to visit in the 1980s and her old house was still standing. Sadly I don't know the exact location. I have dreams of returning to Norway. ❤

Great video! Better than most travel documentaries I've seen. Straight to the point and no wasting time with selfie sticks and annoying music. Congrats!

June is the best month to visit, even if the temp is 2 degrees colder on average than in July. You'll get the best midnight sun that month, since the days start getting shorter from the 21st of June. There will be less insects in June than in July, allowing you to enjoy nature even more. And you'll have peace and quiet (+ more to yourself), since most of the tourists have not arrived yet.

Thanks for the Magic of the imagen, soft voice and rekaxing music.
I expect to return for 3rd time to this small heaven on northearth, in spite of his terrible prices.
Thanks again

Hi, We will be in Lofoten, Senja and FinnMark from mid June . Your film is incredible sharp. Can you tell me how you do to post thers sharp images. I have a DJ drone Mavic, an Iphone…but I am never able to post my films so sharp as you can. Can you tell me what to do about settings and/or editing? Best regards

All around great video! Very informative and organized! Thank you so much!

Thank you for the information and the beautiful pictures. I'm planning to travel there in july 2023 but I'm not going to rent a car. I'm a public transport person and I found that where the rails end, Norway has decent bus services. I might not be able to get to the most remote corners but I also don't have to spend thousands on transportation alone that way. I still have to work out details such as where to stay overnight and who to visit, but I'll get to it.
