A journey through Norway's Northernmost mysterious county Troms and Finnmark! Senja -Hammerfest 

You're showing magic again. This is the wonder of the internet, that we can see places and lives through different eyes, which was unimaginable on this level before. Thank you for being here for us.

Well done Maria on producing another excellent video. You have really had a wonderful tour, and it is so kind of you to devote so much of your time to enabling us all to share the journey and spectacular scenery with you. I would never have expected so much civilisation to have existed in such remote places. Norway and her people are truly remarkable.

I can't believe the singular beauty that there is there !! I don't like the cold but I will go to the Norway for cherish those landscapes that give me peace and calm !

I have lived both in Trømso and Kirkenes and have visited Bugøynes and Senja, what magnificent places... there is just something about the Arctic, the feeling that you are at the end of the world, so isolated and quiet. A place where your soul is at rest. Thank you for taking me there again 💙

It is great to live in the north of Norway, and I love that you can see or experience something beautiful all 24/7/356/al year around, if you're open to it and take live/people /condition as there are.

Beautiful scenery! I wonder what it would have been like growing up in one of those small northern villages. Thank you, Maria. :)

Norway's so beautiful, thank you for sharing your journey! :)

Thanks for reminding me of Norway's stunning landscape. Norway is one of my favorite places in my travels.

I'm from the North, and just let me say I love your journey and the way you portrait our special place up here, Great fotography, great videography and the storytelling brings tears to my eyes every time. Wish you the absolute best on your further endeavours 💚

I've been to Bugøynes this 12th of December and it was amazing, with the snow and the amazing blue water. And also the northern lights ending this beautiful day

Extremely beautiful scenery

Beautiful video of this beautiful country! Thank you for taking us on the tour!

Land of The Giants !! top class video, enjoyed it from Oslo, !! hope ill travel that track soon !!

Congratulations on reaching 21k (1k higher since you filmed!) I am glad to still be watching your channel grow and your cinematography improving since you only had about 850 subscribers. You’re doing great, keep going 💫

Lovely video and beautiful landscapes. We explored Finnmark last month but my wish is to go there in the winter also :) Greetings from Finland!

Hello Maria, I have watched all your videos in about 2 months time and just love them! The incredible beauty you capture and your peaceful voice give me a sense of calm and peace. I grew up in Seattle and the forest scenes remind me of home and I can understand why my Nordic ancestors emigrated there. I have lived in California since my teens, but still the forest calls to me. My name, Keith, means forest dweller in Scots Gaelic. I don’t think my mother knew that, but it is very appropriate. It always feels like home to me. I enjoy the rain I grew up with and the snow for a couple of weeks every winter and I miss that. Northern California just doesn’t have the same distinct seasons. But it is much too late to move with family and friends all rooted in the Bay Area, I am 74 now and single after losing my wife 15 years ago. I admire greatly your cinematic eye and your ability to capture beauty. That has been a thread in my own life documenting my extended family on video since 1980. As a young boy I wanted to be a TV cameraman, but the demands of raising a family changed that, but photography remains a way to express having a “good eye” for seeing beauty. In 2019 I took an expedition ship up the coast of Norway and was overwhelmed by the constant beauty! You are so lucky to live there! I think it is the most beautiful of the 31 countries I have visited! I love your videos! You are my favorite on RU-vid! Please don’t stop! You give me joy! Keith Petterson

Hi Maria, your previous video about north of Norway and it was wonderful. I inspired me to go for a trip to the far north in not far future. And this video made me want to go even more. You are amazing story teller. Thank you.

Currently on holiday watching this! Sitting in Kasfjord at the moment, just outside Harstad, after visiting Andoya 😊

Thank you for sharing your travels in northern Norway. Showed it to my wife who grew up in northern Norway. Made her home sick in a good way. Now she wants to go back home.

Så fint å se! Jeg er født i Tromsø og oppvokst med utsikt til nordenden av Senja. Men jeg har aldri vært på tur i Finnmark. Får lyst til å dra dit etter å ha sett denne videoen. 😊

Your channel is one of my favorites! I enjoy watching youtubers all over the world to see different places and you do a fantastic job of showing Norway, its majestic nature, and calmness. I also enjoy learning a little about flora whenever you touch on it in your videos! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for us 💙 they make a difference in my life

Thank you for sharing yet another beautiful video! Congratulations also on 21k!

I thought I recognised some of the places in your intro, and I’m pretty sure at 19:01 is Gildetun, Kvænangsfjellet. My family is from Kvænangen, and I was born there, although we moved when I was pretty young. Now I live in Tromsø, but I still visit my grandmother often in Sørstraumen. It is a very beautiful place, and I definitely recommend going there in the summer. It is just incredible to go on hikes in the evenings with the midnight sun, and sometimes you can even spot reindeer from quite up close. I really enjoyed this video, it was so calming and I got really absorbed in it. Hope you had a nice trip in the north, and hope you’ll visit again! 😊

I live in Hammerfest, hope you enjoyed! You should visit during the summertime and midnight sun 🤩🩷

I have been in (northern) Norway for three years now. I have lived in Hammerfest for 6-7 months, difficult city due to weather but it is one of my favorites. I have lived in Finnsnes. I've driven all the way around in Senja. I love this island. Is so beautiful. Now I live in Alta which is a nice arctic circle city.

This was unbelievably beautiful! Thank you. I could watch this ne over and over again, well, at least once a year at Christmastime.

This is second video what im watchin and is so amazing,just everything.beautyfull views,You and nature.everything on one simple video. greatings from Poland

A beautiful place!

World is wonderful and beautiful around beautiful people like you!! I admire the way you show your amazing country!! You are a real artist!! Thank you so much for sharing the atmosphere of nature wilderness and power ❤❤❤

Thank you for that poem I am grieving too so thank you for sharing and wish you well. ❤

I feel so lucky to have been able to visit Tromsø this past November even though it was a short, cheap flight from London. I took a trip out to Sommerøy and wow, how peaceful and serene it was. I look forward to exploring the North throughout the seasons on future trips. I was fortunate enough to discover your channel while there….I’m hooked!

Hammerfest used to be the Northernmost town in the world, until Honningsvåg got its official "bystatus" in 1996, right before a change in the Norwegian laws that requires a municipality to have at least 5000 inhabitants. Snuck its way in right as the door was closing, having less than half the required number of people by today's laws, a law that went in to effect a month or so after the municipality declared its own village, a town :) Has been quite a bit of debate and argument around this, as it was one of the major tourist brandings Hammerfest used, and to this day, still uses, but less commonly.

This must be one of my favorite videos out of all that you've made so far. Thank you so much for allowing us to road trip with you this way! The landscape is wondrous, but especially so seen through your artistic and appreciative eye. I'm sorry that your work is so tiring, even though I'm sure it offers a lot of rewards. Wishing you both some rest now! Happy holidays from over here in WA State, USA and much love to you both. I'm so grateful for your channel. It brings calm. 💗

Damn, it’s a very strange feeling when you see your city in a video. I've lived in Kirkenes all my life, glad you visited this modest city!

THANK YOU for sharing your amazing times. Do appreciate your channel! A LOT!

Magnificent wow.

I enjoyed this video because I have stood in the same place where you did in Senja in 2020 (Devil's Teeth and Bergsbotn utsiktsplattform) as well as climbing Hesten in the deep snow. It was fantastic to see it again and hear your wonderful description. Arctic Norway is beautiful and your videos have done it justice.

Congratulations 🎉 a well deserved new high point on YT. Your videos are something to look forward to. Im so grateful you take us with you on your adventures 😊 with love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

Det er så hyggelig å se og høre fra deg igjen 🙌 5:10 is my most favourite part, it looks soooo peaceful and beautiful ❄️🤩 The video makes me long to move to Nordland or Troms og Finnmark 🙈 I love the music you include. It fits the video sequences so well. You have a good eye and ear for it 👍🏻 I hope you arrived home safely. What do you teach? God Jul 🎄❄️ Hilsener fra Nord-Tyskland, Svenja 👋

Hello from North Carolina Good to see you both and WOW 😮 what a beautiful video thank you for taking me along. 🎄 ⛄

Oh my goodness is Gorgeous those white mountain and the Ocean and the View man oh man! Infinitive unending views ❤thank you so much I really enjoy your videos take care of yourself you guys!! God Bless!

The land & light resonated with my Sami dna!

I love your videos - a winter roadtrip even for work is always an adventure!! Thanks for sharing it :)

Great film! I’d love to return to Norway one day! Tusen takk!

Very nice video and sound effects! Thanks for including us far away from this beautiful landscape!!

Wish you and your family Merry Christmas 🎄 , Maria. Happy Holidays 😊

Incredibly beautiful! I enjoyed this video very much. Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤

Amazing trip thru northern Norway. Thank you. 👏👏👏

I feel blessed for being able to witness such a vlog. It truly feels magical yet real, Lol. I mean deeply heartfelt. I’m beyond grateful for your sharing ❤ p.s. I feel like I’ve touched the places while having a grilled fish. It gave a heavenly atmosphere. My very best things, nature and fishes 💘

Hello again Maria, I wonder if you have been to the Lofoten Islands? I thought it was one of the highlights of my trip up the Norwegian coast. Quite beautiful! And the Viking long house was amazing! By the way the videos of my wife are not easy to watch. It is amazing how impactful video of the past can be. Keith

That was fun to watch! Thanks for showing us around this beautiful part of Norway. I've added a few things to my list for a future trip there.

Beautiful travel video! 27:10 are those seed pods of Yellow Rattle (Rhinanthus spp., Engkallslekta in Norwegian)? People in the UK sow this species into grass-rich areas to turn them into more of a flower meadow. Not a rarity but since you mentioned your interest in botany!

Impeccable video

Wow. So beautiful

Beautiful video! Thank you.

Thank you so much for covering Norway's Northernmost

Magical scenery 😊

inspirerende film, Maria! Bra slutt, haha!

Magic, tusen takk x

Oh Maria, since you announced that you and Bendik were going back to the north I have been looking forward to this video, and it did not disappoint. It did not come up in my feed, but tonight I decided to look to see if you had posted anything yet, and here it was! Wow! What beautiful places you have shown us! Just an amazing tour. You are fortunate that you were able to travel to these places in your work. Senja was quite amazing. Bugøynes reminds me of so many of the tiny outports in Newfoundland on the east coast of Canada. Tromsø really is spectacular! Much larger than I would have expected, and I had never heard that it is called the "Paris of the North." You must have been so happy to get home after all that travelling and teaching. Jeg onsker deg og Bendik en God Jul og Godt Nyttar (don't know how to get the different letters on my computer - just copied and pasted your names for the towns!) and I look forward to seeing what's next for you in 2024! Thanks for a lovely year of videos!

It’s obvious you really love your man. You embrace him, you lean on him, you look to him…,have you ever thought of what your life would be without him???? Would you travel? Live where you do? Travel as you do?

Wow, tusen takk for video.

Wow, so beautiful places. Thank you Maria for this video. I also would like to see the same places. ❤ Have wonderful week you both. ❤ Regards from Finland countryside 🌲🎄🏠🧑‍🎄🌲 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!❄️🤍❄️🤍❄️🤍❄️

I will be visiting Norway for the first time this month, I'm excited! How are the grape seeds used, those ones that you found in the art store?

Looking at the release date for the video, Troms & Finnmark was a single county, but since the new year we're back to 2 counties.

We had a wonderful trip - in 2015? - visiting a number of towns in northern Norway in the early autumn - as part of a larger trip that also saw other major cities on the west coast. Northern places we visited included Tromsø, Kilpisjärvi (Finland), Alta, Karasjok (to see Sámi Parliament - wife and I given nice spontaneous tour by librarian) , and Honnigsvåg and we drove to Gjesvær and did some tourist hikes/stops. The people were wonderful, the scenery was great - especially the drive from Tromsø to Kilpisjärvi and the hiking around Gjesvær and Kilpisjärvi . But I'm glad we skipped Hammerfest - the claims the city makes plus all the 'polar bears' would turn me off. If you land at the airport in Yellowknife, Canada you are greeted by an out-of-place taxidermists' polar bear far far distant from where one exists but at least Yellowknife is the capital of a jurisdiction with lots of polar bears. It was really interesting to see your northern scenery with more winter snow than we saw - a special beauty of the season.

Many of your videos have been cut to one minute or less! What happened?? I started watching from your first videos and got to story 20 or so. I want to keep watching in order!

Flott video 🙂👍

20:20 but now they wanna destroy it with windmills🤯😢😩

Guys what is the time of the year there? Is it spring or winter? Asking as wonder how Nordic roads would look like, how snowy / drivable they would be in winter

❤❤❤

En gang ender du kanskje opp på Svalbard ;)

😍

Yarrow, what do you use it for?

Would you say this is Viking country?

✨️💫🧚💚💛

🇮🇪💚💫✨️🧚💛🧚

Min mormor hette Senja..

Maria = fin natur farer

Very nice landscape but BLOODY HELL CLEAN YOUR LENS

I lived in the north and I escaped after 2 years.....

Nei, vi kaller Hammerfest den nordligste 'city', ikke 'town'. Og det er visstnok fordi en by er definert av en befolkning på over 10 000 som vi har! Takk for en fin tur med begge to 😀
