NORTHERN EXPLORATION- SVALBARD, NORWAY, ICELAND AND GREENLAND cover image
What I like about Northern Exploration - Svalbard, Norway, Iceland and Greenland is that it introduces three Nordic countries and uses a multitude of images to show them. I have always been interested in these countries and enjoyed learning more about them.

This documentary addresses the history of these Nordic countries and how climate change is affecting them today.

This is a nature documentary and discusses the history of the different countries as well as their politics. The camerawork is terrific; the beautiful scenery is stunningly portrayed, enough to make you want to visit as soon as possible. I especially like some of the shots that were shot with drones; it's a different feeling to see them from a very high angle. The entire film is focused on a multitude of locations, except at the end when the narrator appears in front of the camera. I especially like the soundtrack for this documentary -- it's very gentle and soothing and works very well with the narrator. The information given varies from the scientific to social/political. For example, I learned that the citizens used to pay 70% of what they earned to the king, which makes their high taxation today seem not so bad. My favorite moment is at the end of the movie when a girl sings and the background scene shows a stunning view.

The film offers a multi-faceted look at these three Nordic countries, exploring its landscapes, regional cultures, and politics.

I give Northern Exploration - Svalbard, Norway, Iceland and Greenland 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 18, plus adults. By Xiangxi K.
