The Current flows north and warms this Scandinavian coast almost all the way to Russia. I have been trying to film the salmon farming. But the owners are reluctant. There was an outbreak of disease in the salmon stocks three years ago and many farmers were ruined. Salmon prices have gone up and now a license is worth millions of Krone.
Dairy farmers are also especially sensitive to foreign visitors coming around.
They don't want strangers around their cattle. I finally did get to shoot in a salmon farm near Alta, Norway. I have to wonder where all those Alaskan salmon served up in Seattle restaurants may have actually come from. My brother was with me for two weeks in late May. He had wanted to see moose, which are known as 'elk' over here.
