Here in Bergen, Norway, the local beer is called "Hansa" and still brewed according to the German purity law.

17:50 The map zoom in is totally wrong. The area shown as "Bergen" is actually part of Øygarden (island farm) county, a barren, treeless, windswept region west of Bergen. It's easy to see on the map where Bergen actually is, to the right/east side of where it is marked, beyond the large, "elephant"-shaped island, called Askøy (Ash Island) and into the bay, on the opposite side of the "trunk" of the "elephant", where you can clearly see grey areas on the map, from all the urban settlement that go back a millennium and used to be the capitol of Norway before Christiania (Oslo) took that title, and the royal palace.

Very enjoyable and informative. I adore Iceland.

23:56 "Notow" in local, Norwegian dialect sound a lot like "Nautøy", or "Bull Isle"

29:55 another etymological clue, Krysuvik might mean "crystal bay". My Icelandic is not the best though...

The scene at 20:35 is mirrored that of 21:05. Weird.

30:21 I really hope she dropped that plan. "Sølvi" is Norwegian for "Silver", but it's a feminine name, used for girls here. Hopefully she knows her stuff and chose "Sølve", that is the masculine version. "Sølv"=Silver
