Brukernavn wow l looked at the location from your Google maps post l never realized how big Norway is it's coast appears longer than North Americas coast from Canada to Florida. Lol a little off topic but hey l learned something today.. Great video too.!
Maps don't usually represent the true sizes of countries relative to each other because it's hard to accurately portray a 3D globe on a 2D map, but here's how big Norway is compared to USA :) www.slowtrav.com/blog/chiocciola/version5.jpg
Brukernavn yes I understand that and actually the one i was looking at was scaled terribly as l looked at some others after l commented last time.. Keep up the good work 😊🇺🇸 oh l just noticed the overlay you linked thanks
@@drServitis Not necessarily true, we are just like any other on the planet, however we are quite few, so you may not have sifted through as many of us as those of other countries. We behave nice, on vacations. I also know it's not good to stigmatize and generalize, like you do.
Surprise!!! Wow! Whoa! UNFXXXING BELIEVABLE! BEAUTIFUL! THAT WAS WAY TOO CLOSE! I'LL BE SHAKING , TOO ! I haven't seen a whale in an ocean , yet ...I'm so jealous!
That is such a beautiful scene in a gorgeous environment. It truly depresses me that what you just witnessed used to be commonplace and now you are in the vast minority of people to witness whales feeding, let alone humpbacks. The Anthropocene Epoch. Look we all need to work together and make the habitat as good as possible for these creatures. If its good for them its good for us. If they die we die. 6th mass extinction. Please work together people. Thanks for posting this beautiful and now rare sight.
is that supposed to be a summer's midnight, where sun never sets, or winters midday where sun never shows up? :D Norway looks to be beautiful and I dream of doing a bicycle trip from central europe all the way to the north of norway one day. Also. I heard you can get a fine if too close to a whale is that true? Because I would really love to encounter whales one day, but not if they fine me 100k euros for that :D
This was in November, the colors in the sky are typical for the starting period of the polar night. You can get fined if you act irresponsibly near the whales, best bet is to book a tour with a whale safari company. They know where you have the best chance of seeing them. Notice that the guys in the video had turned off their engine and just floated there to not disturb the whales.
Funfact: Norway is one of the few countries in the world to still legally hunt whales for consumption (and after trying some near Nordcape last year, I can't blame them!).
Now I understand why legends of Kraken and other sea monsters were born. At minute 1:05 this 4/5 whales may seemed like a unique single indefinite sea monster for ancient northern fishermen and travelers.....so legends could take life!
I'm in Indiana and I've been whale watching 2 times in my life. Don't be afraid to go out on vacation and make it part of your trip! The first was whale watching in Seattle for orcas on my birthday. The second was in Boston for humpbacks when I went to see a concert for my brother. It's an amazing experience and you won't regret it.
Never say never. There is much life to live within your dreams. Anything you want is at your own will. Your will is your way. I hope you’re sitting on these very waters one day. Reach for your dreams!
Fucking hell, when are we going to stop acting like assholes and totally start loving our planet and other creatures ? We might be one species that have had encounters with the most creatures in this planet from bacteria to baboon, yet we are far behind in having proper communication and understanding between us and the other. Hell we cannot properly communicate and understand ourselves ?!
Those that love making money through war and weapons aren't interested in humans evolving. To them, we're just cash-cows and canon fodder for their bank accounts. We've allowed the soulless to have delusional power over us. Shame on us for sleeping so long.
I was about to say "Wot, no screaming and screeching?!" ... and then there's that polite "Hoo-yoo!". Which is nothing like the headaches that normally come from any vid in which humans encounter marine mammals. Thankyou, Norway!
This is one of the coolest things I've seen on YT. Damn I keep rewinding to 1:08 - that thing's fin!!! There isn't a word for it other than humbling. Fack!
This is my absolute favorite whale video on RU-vid. Icy scenery so beautiful you can just feel the cold, a pastel pink horizon, and no raucous, screaming humans. Just two wonderstruck fishermen and one respectful, “woo-hoo!” And naturally Norwegian whales, of course. 🐋💞✨☺️
I visited a Norwegian friend in Jonsvonnett (sp) it’s out on the countryside from Trondheim. I remember the headline was warning of a “slagbiyourn” (sp) it meant BEAR 🐻!!!!!!!
@@dianebyers5704 Slagbjørn is a term used about a bear that has already attacked people or livestock. It translates to "punch bear" or "hit bear". Hope you had a good time in Norway 😊
Brukernavn yes! I know. That and a few curse words I learned from my Norwegian friends. I was in Norway years ago. I stayed trondheim for awhile. My friend lived in Jonesvonette. The spelling is wrong. It was way out in the country. We went out on the hills looking for titaberries. At the time, a slagbjorn was in the area causing problems. Norway was beautiful. I stayed on Denmark for a month or so. I hear the immigration problem has changed it so much. Sweden is really in bad shape . The Norwegian ships were the best. Tankers are orange and white. I knew quite a few seamen male and female. Good old Days!
The whales came really close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here (indian ocean) they come to have their babies and unfortunately are chased entire days by disgusting tourist boats. Glad to see them doing great and in peace like that
I love the northern Norwegian humor. It must be remembered that in the old days it was not unusual for fishermen to lose their lives in bad weather out at sea. We in Norway say "A laugh prolongs life" Someone from northern Norway might say "A laugh is necessary to cope with life" Just some thoughts from someone from further south in Norway.
I recognized the “swearing “ word in Norwegian. When I shipped out with Exxon, we put in next to the Stauvanger, a Norwegian ship. Some of our crew and the Norwegian crew spent someshore time together. Very nice folks! Gynn was the female then Odgear, Lars . They used “fee fon “ a lot! Not sure what it means but it spicy! lol
"fy faen" is pretty equivalent to "fuckin' hell". "Fy" is a word you use to berate children when they are doing something bad, and "faen" means Satan. Basically, they are scolding the devil.
If u was on that boat I would have probably crapped my pants. Beautiful moment but scary too.. Theses mammals ain't dolphin sized ... But massive whales that could flip that tiny boat with no effort.
Wow! Beautiful! so lucky to live so close to something SO amazing and beautiful! I will never in my life see something like that in person. things people take for granted.
What an incredible experience! There is so much beauty in this world and I’m not just talking about scenery but everything around us. But what a unique experience you guys had, the whales are very clever, they would have been watching you. They could have very easily come up right beneath your boat but it looks like they wanted to “play around” and show you what they can do so instead of upturning your boat, they gave you a display RIGHT next to you. By the way, you live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. I am totally addicted to watching videos on Norway, breathtaking and jaw dropping.
By the way the title reads I thought the men were hunting the whales and that made me mad. I am glad I watched it and now know the title reads wrong. Thank you for such a beautiful site!
