Sea level is the same everywhere. Of course! Okay, it varies by a few centimeters around the globe. Because the ocean is one continuous body of water, its surface tends to seek the same level throughout the world. However, winds, currents, river discharges, and variations in gravity and temperature prevent the sea surface from being truly level.

It's just that I read an article from NOAA stating that the sea level varies around the globe, that's why I mentioned it, but I didn't want to go into detail 😂🤭

Why do you say it is dangerous? I have been walking in these mountains for over 50 years. Sometimes with my 5-6 year old grandchildren. It is not dangerous if you walk on marked paths. You don't have to go out on the edge, Teacher. I never do it. It is not difficult to stop 2 meters from the edge.
@TeacherPaulReacts2 жыл бұрын
I think it's because the visuals shown in these videos are always of someone dangling on the edge of the cliff, lol Walking marked paths sounds safe and far from the open free fall 😂 I used to live on the hill top as well, went up and down the mountain to go to school, but it wasn't on the edge, so I guess I know what you mean
@steinarhaugen76172 жыл бұрын
@@TeacherPaulReacts Yes, the video shows someone going all the way to the edge. It's dangerous, I agree, but the point is, it's not necessary. I never do that and have never been injured on the mountain even though I have done more than 2000 hikes in my life. And I'm an ordinary man. 😀

If you plan to come to Norway it is always good to pick what you want to see, so you can plan the trip most efficiently and cheaply, Thing cost alot here in Norway but there are ways to do it cheaper, as Norway is pretty safe so sleeping in tents can be pretty safe, tough I would not leave valubles around so it easy to grap. You can rent AirBnB ofcourse, then there are these Camping places that have both space for camping cars, tents and many if not most have small cabins for rent that does not need to be that expensive. Resturants can be expensive but ofcourse you get what you pay for, eating hotdogs from gasstations is actually a thing here, not nessesary hotdogs but baugettes and hamburgers too... Kiosks like Narvesen, 7/11 and some other are more expensive than regular stores. Regular stores closes earlier saturdays and closed sundays where kiosks can have open sundays tough. Also there are stuff like "Too good to go" thats an app you can download and to avoid throwing away food at the end of the day, they sell it cheaply... nothing wrong but they have policy to have fresh baguettes and make them daily. (like many kiosks participate in this). But as always ... plan plan plan ... check what transport is best for you to get around and see what you want to see, Norway is pretty stretched country, it can take several hours like 7 or so to cross from Oslo to Bergen (2 cities that offer alot of tourism things), even train takes hours, and if you want to travel north you can do the trip in 24 hours if you choose to drive from like Oslo through sweden into finland and into Finnmark (northern county of Norway).... long trip. Train only goes up to Bodø, you will not reach Tromsø tough unless you take plane or drive yourself.

You should go to Norway, but you need a few weeks to see things. Most camping sites have huts to rent and always some free, so going with car or motorcycle is a good way of getting around.

Hi Paul. These videos may create a skewed idea about Norway. You will find most Norwegians hanging out in a cafe with a café latte. "Only" 90,000 visited Trolltunga while a million people visited the Much Museum. What I am trying to indicate is that Norwegians are urbanists that also have a population that likes to walk uphill in nature quite a bit. The fact is that most Norwegians with time off will end up somewhere south in Europe. Usually on some beach. Norwegians share the laid-back embrace of comfort with our Danish friends. We call it "hygge". This is a medieval Norwegian word related to the English verb "to hug". The modern Nordic meaning is "quality of cosiness". Think Friday evening after the work week. Autumn darkness, and crisp and cold air outside, light the open fireplace. Make some good snack food, open a good bottle of wine with your partner or friends, or put on some comfy casual clothes, some nice music and open your current favourite book. This (or meeting some friends for a meal and some drinks downtown) is closer to the average lifestyle than dangling legs off a mountain for the majority of Norwegians. Sure we are an outdoorsy nation, comparatively speaking. Nobody looks funny at you if you decided to spend a week pulling a pulk with your tent and gear on your own in minus 20 Celcius for fun - but it is NOT normal. Here is a fun fact: Norwegian has the word "tur" which has no equal word in any known language. It can somehow mean anything from a hike, a trip, a bona fide expedition-style climb, or a voyage... "Tur" is almost a mental state more than the activity of moving. It is not for exercise alone for example. A Norwegian may ask a friend "want to walk a "tur"?) and the friend will never ask "to where?" or "why?" or "how long?". I always used this test on foreign colleagues from some 40 odd nations from all continents (except Antarctica where we worked). When they started to understand "tur" they had assimilated to Norway. They also started to get Norway when they understood jokes like "I long for Covid to be over so we can go back to our usual 6-meter distance rule". (Norway under lockdown had a minimum 2-meter distance rule). Feel welcome whenever you take the journey to visit us Scandies. We are surprisingly approachable since we really want friendly visitors to have the best possible time. This is a tradition that is centuries old. To the point that when I was a school kid, we all had to walk to the cross. One of the medieval farms refused to take a roaming woman into their home - probably during the 15th century. She was later found killed by wolves. The farm has since then maintained a simple cross where she was found ever since. They did this for centuries with such diligence that it was drawn in on official maps as early as 1755 AD. Hospitality (or lack thereof) is not taken lightly. Our natural 6-meter distance rule must not be seen as unfriendliness 🙃 Finally, you can have a perfect trip to Norway without falling off a mountain. Remember we have ca. 2 deaths per year (statistical average) by non-roped in hikers (aka not climbers). We have ca. 60 "adventure deaths" per year. Ca 30 of these are motorized (private boats, snowmobiles and 4-wheel ATVs). Then we have 30 deaths per year in non-motorized activities (divers, skydiving, hang-gliding, kayaking (ocean and white-water), cyclists (etc). In short - the statistics of surviving Norway are as good as it gets. Remember - Norway has 2 deaths per 100,000 capita per year in traffic. The USA has 12.4 and Brazil has 24. Sitting on mountains is a perfectly safe activity since that has a risk of ca. 1 per 10 million. Stepping into a bath is probably riskier. 👌

Netherlands means Lowlands, and the sea level is the sea level at every place the ocean is. I love that you repeat the names of everything, that means you want to learn! Edges are not dangerous, going beyond them are. Climbing 2 kilometers in the mountain in the snow is normal, But. Keep up the good work.

You are doing the pronunciation pretty well, actually. I have not been to these cliffs in this video, but I have been to some others. As a child we went to an island to pick cloudberries every summer. To reach the top we went up along the cliff on the island, a few meters from the edge. Near the top there was a chasm, and we wanted so badly to look down to find out what was at the bottom. I used to lie down to look over the edge. My legs always get shaky when I approach a cliff. It helps to sit down. Those sitting in the video have their center of gravity safely inside the edge. Presumably they have sat down a little further inside and wiggled out to the edge, depending on how the terrain is exactly on the spot. Some of the pictures you saw were secured with a fence. It therefore looked worse than it really is.
