Living in Lofoten: How People Survive Where the Arctic Meets the Sea | Documentary

This is Lofoten. An Arctic archipelago in Norway, 169 km above the Arctic Circle — a wall of granite where 24,500 people live on a sea that should freeze, and does not.

This travel documentary is about living in Lofoten: the winter skrei, the wind that invented stockfish, the rorbuer that were crews’ huts before they were postcards, and the cost of one million guests on a working coast.
