If it were up to me, I would name Norway mountain passes, fjords, glaciers, and roads after you! Your *true love* of this spectacular environment shows through in every video. I can feel the love. Your videos are not a feeling of, "Oh, they'll want to see this." No, your videos are a feeling of, "I love this, it is spectacularly beautiful nature and I want to share it with you." Legitimate. Genuine. Pacing is wonderful. Your narration is perfect. My favorite, "most important meal of the day . . . Coffee." Sending love and applause.

The arctic sea with its white-foamed waves is so wonderful blue under the blue sky.... " Sunset" before midnight-sun : amazing colours ! You could make a complete picture-book of all the sunsets and sunrises of all your adventures ! Did you hear, Jarl... ? Hurtigruten was greeting you ! There seems to be a numerous population in the arctic : the omnipresent longlegged raindeer who seem to jump and the seabirds white as snow with their elegant flight. KYSTVAKT : easy understanding, in my language, Dutch, "KUSTWACHT" . I enjoyed the gorgeous views !

[@ricklarry4212]

The color of the water and the waves with an off shore wind at your second campsite were incredible. Brings to mind surfing in Hawaii but I don't think they have polar bears in Hawaii!! After you left that campsite and headed towards Vardo, the views from the road opened up amazing vistas. More jagged rocks like the Dragon Coast. One particular shoreline had red tinged outcroppings contrasting with the azure sea , just a stunning juxtaposition. The coast guard vessel named after you must be a fan of your channel. All kidding aside being so close to Russia, it is good to have a fleet watching the coast. The drone footage at the end found some spectacular views of the peninsula. Thanks for sharing my friend. 👍🌊 🇳🇴
