Film locations in “Trip to the North Cape”:

0:00
Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) soars 600 meters (2000 feet) above Lysefjord in Norway. It is reached by 3 hours hike and is one of the most popular hikes in Norway.

0:44
The troll ladder (Trollstigen) is an exciting mountain road and is a popular tourist attraction due to its steep incline of 10%. The road has 11 hairpin bends as it climbs up to Stigrøra at 858 metres above sea level. Stigfossen and Tverrdalsfossen are the main waterfalls surrounding the famous road.

1:08
The Atlantic Ocean Road (Atlanterhavsveien) is an 8.3 kilometer (5.2 miles) long road connecting the island and municipality of Averøy with the mainland. It consists of eight bridges and four resting places and viewpoints.

1:18
Svartisen is the second largest glacier in Norway. At just 20 m above sea level, it is the lowest glacier in mainland Europe. It has 60 glacier tongues and covers a full 370 km2.
Balmoral is with her length of 218m and 710 rooms and suites the largest of Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines ships. Balmoral takes her name from the Scottish residence of the British Royal Family.

1:47
The coastal route of northern Norway - the Fv17. This route has everything ... if you like bridges, ferries, tunnels and countless eye-catching sights ... and if you are not in a hurry.

2:01
Lofoten is known for it's dramatic mountains, open sea and sheltered bays, beaches and untouched lands.

2:25
Havøysund is a fishing village located on the small island of Havøya in Finnmark county. Ferries from the Hurtigruten arrives here every morning. They can take you on a beautiful voyage showing you all the beauty of the Norwegian coast from Bergen to Kirkenes.

2:47
North Cape is a cape on the northern coast of the island of Magerøya in Northern Norway. The cape has a 307 meter (1,007 ft) high cliff with a large flat plateau on top. From here visitors can stand and watch the midnight sun or the views of the Barents Sea to the north.

The material for this project was shot during a 7000 km long road trip through amazing scenery in the summer 2016. This adventure went from Copenhagen in the south of Scandinavia through the always changing landscapes of Norway with its deep fjords, snowy mountains, glaciers and many waterfalls, through the untouched islands of Lofoten and all the way to the moon landscape at the North Cape before returning to Denmark through Finland and Sweden with thousands of lakes and deep mysterious forests. On this epic journey not only the most popular tourist places were visited. To get the right shots it was often necessary to hike for hours with heavy equipment to remote locations.

During my hiking in the nature I shot 35 thousands time-lapse photos and several hundred aerial photography videos in 4K of some of Scandinavia's most beautiful spots. Afterwards this footage was combined to make a series of 4K video films that show the beautiful landscapes of the Nordic countries. Nature's beauty can be so easily missed. It is my hope that these films will contribute to a deeper understanding and gratitude of the natural wonders in our world and to the preservation of our fragile environment in the future.

Materialet til dette projekt blev optaget under en 7000 km lang biltur gennem fantastiske naturlandskaber i sommeren 2016. Dette eventyr gik fra København i den sydlige del af Skandinavien gennem de altid skiftende landskaber i Norge med sine dybe fjorde, snedækkede bjerge, gletsjere og mange vandfald, gennem de uberørte øer ved Lofoten og hele vejen til månelandskabet ved Nordkap før jeg vendte tilbage til Danmark gennem Finland og Sverige med tusindvis af søer og dybe mystiske skove. På denne episke rejse blev ikke kun de mest populære turist steder besøgt. For at få de rigtige optagelser var det ofte nødvendigt at vandre i timevis med tungt udstyr til fjerntliggende steder.

Under min vandring i naturen skød jeg mere end 35 tusinde time-lapse billeder og flere hundrede videoer i 4K fra min drone af nogle af Skandinaviens smukkeste steder. Bagefter blev disse optagelser kombineret til en række 4K film, der viser de smukke landskaber i de nordiske lande.
