The hidden biodiversity of Norway’s rugged fjords and high fells
In short: Discover how life thrives in one of Europe's most dramatic landscapes. This documentary explores the seasonal migrations, unique species, and underwater secrets found between Norway's towering mountains and deep coastal waters.
The film captures the distinct rhythms of Norwegian wildlife, such as reindeer herds that migrate from valleys to high plateaus during the spring for summer grazing. It highlights specialized inhabitants like musk ox, which live at altitudes exceeding 1000 meters in the Dovrefjells area and share a close evolutionary relationship with goats.
Beyond the mountains, the documentary reveals Norway's coastal richness: salmon migrating up icy streams to spawn, colorful underwater ecosystems within the fjords, and bird islands where Northern Gannets—Europe’s largest seabirds—breed in colonies alongside Atlantic Puffins.
