Norway: Living in Impossible far-off Places

A series of Norwegian TV documentaries will present people who have decided to live in far off farms and houses in Norway. Tonight we will visit one of the small mountain farms in Sognefjord, Norway's longest fjord. I remember how J. looked up from the ship as we sailed through that fjord in 1990 and saw tiny farms and houses high up on the mountain side. «I would have liked to walk up there and see how they lived,» he commented. Indeed, one wonders how they get up there from the fjord – it is so steep – but even more how you live your everyday life so far from the rest of the world.
