Norway: From the Land of Vikings
A comprehensive tour of Norway, whose history dates back over 1,000 years, and its people, who retain a unique culture and remain determined to make a satisfying and rewarding life for every citizen in their country. An index of destinations visited include: Trondhiem, to visit St. Olaf Cathedral dedicated to the Viking King Olaf; Stavanger, the center of its oil industry. Norway is the second largest exporter of oil in the world, second only to Saudi Arabia. The medieval city of Bergen, the second largest city; the Lofoton Islands; the largest Viking communal house ever found; in Alta, the midnight sun warms the air to 80º Fahrenheit, even though we are 300 miles north of the Arctic Circle. The Sami, or Lapplanders, live here as they have for over 10,000 years, still depending on reindeer for their survival. Produced by Trailwood Films. 08DR IJSCA 80 min.
