The coast of Norway

This is a ten-part NRK programme, filming a journey of well over 2000 miles down the coast of Norway from north to south. Obviously, it doesn't film the whole route, but just visits selected places along the way and interviews people who live there (like a remote island where three siblings are the only pupils at the school). All the narrative is in Norwegian, so it might get a bit tedious, but the scenery, of course, is wonderful. Click the episodes to watch.
