I can't get over how fortunate "we" are to have you on this trip and for you to be sharing it with us. There has been more than one, I'm sure, but I'd call this an experience of a lifetime. Thanks, Chris!
History has tended to paint the Norse as nothing more than bloodthirsty marauders, a reputation of which they were fully aware (and maaaybe even a little proud). But what many fail to realize is just how ingenious they were. They were skilled navigators, relying on the stars for guidance. Their knowledge of the sea combined with their curious nature ultimately led them well out of their Scandinavian homelands for the decidedly exotic shores of the Mediterranean, Ireland and the British Isles, the island that would one day be home to a country called Iceland and, ultimately, to North America, specifically Greenland and Canada. Their longships were the height of maritime technology of the day. And their craftsmanship, particularly in wood and iron, was exquisite, a talent that seems to have carried over to their Icelander, Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish descendants. They were a truly remarkable people, a European culture caught in that transitional period from Antiquity to Medieval that all too often gets overlooked. Great video, man. I'm glad the Norwegians have peeled back the veil of time and given us this tiny sliver of Viking life for us to visit and enjoy.
How fascinating! I have viking in my blood lines as well, with similar thoughts of another person's comment below, at age 60, living in Canada, not sure I will ever be able to see these places I have strong interest in, i have family roots in Norway as well as Sweden, clash of the clans there! LOL! ,, really enjoyed your video,, its so well done,, fantastic! thank you , definitely checking out more of your vids! :)
Sognefjorden will be destroyed by at least three wind power plants in the coming years. We go there next week to start photographing it down. Next summer we go to France, then we settle by Sognefjorden to photograph it all down. When done, we settle in France.
To be surrounded by all that natural beauty. I love being on this journey with you.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. There is an awesome rich heritage in Norway. So glad you shared this with us.
Very cool place to visit
That backdrop was gorgeous. Would love to see it. But it won’t happen in this lifetime. Great to see your video of it though. Thanks so much.
Another great video. Keep them coming!
Thank you, Chris! ❤
Your tour of Europe has been very enjoyable. Thanks!
Thanks for the very interesting tour.
Wow! L 👀 k at that mountain! Beautiful day! Happy your having a great time! 😊
What a fun place to experience! Thanks for taking us along.
I traced my family on my father's side back to Norsemen. The furthest back I could track was a Leroy Denorseman around 1100 (ironically) AD.
👍👍
Loved it. Thanks
Nice. Thanks

I read somewhere some vikings loved there cats so mush , when they died , they used there fur for coats 🐈⬛️

That is so cool
Ask about the Viking seafarers who may have navigated with legendary crystals.
Very interesting..tysm❤
Its a historic recreation, as he walks past a boat with steel rivets...

10:50 Ladies... How are we doing? Can I get you some wine, or some cracked corn?
That's 21,000 lives traded for those swords!!
"Cleverly named the Viking game."
It's called Hnefatafl.

And we see the hands of a female friend and a tiny bit of her voice maybe. One wonders if we will ever see her?
You think that's something, head over to Iceland!
Chris visited Iceland a few years ago, there are some dramatic videos on his channel showcasing the amazing scenery.
Hope you hit up the metal scene \m/
