Meanwhile in Norway…
Meet Harald V, King of the Trolls (also King of Norway).
In a recent interview with NRK TV, Harald said he will soon be going to Antarctica to visit his country's research station called "Troll."
The station was opened nearly 10 years ago by his wife, Queen Sonja, who is sitting next to him.
Watch the video above (with subtitles) for the punchline.
Oh Harald.
Plan your next BAMF-y vacation with a little help from Destination WIN!
In this viral video posted by a Norwegian children's charity on February 19, strangers were quick to help out a child who was left out in the cold with no coat. The video was heartwarming (literally and figuratively), but what if the subject of the video was in a demographic that isn't usually the target of our sympathies? Say, a 40-year-old, balding, overweight dude?
Would people still be as eager to lend a helping hand?
Fifty-year-old Tor Eckhoff lives in Norway and works in a paint factory.
In his spare time he does a lot of really weird/cool stuff, and he shares it with the rest of the world through his YouTube channel.
Here's his latest video showing you how Christmas is done in his neck of the woods.
Nature, y'all.
It's tough to believe this isn't some airbrushed design on a 1990s shirt. The world can pull out some crazy beautiful things sometimes.
This group of humpback whales bask in the northern lights of Norway in a super peaceful swim along the coast.
According to the video's description:
This Spectacular footage of a group of humpback whales swimming under the northern lights off the coast of Norway was shot by Norwegian cameraman Harald Albrigtsen, who works for the Norwegian media company NRK.
Large gatherings of whales like this are common in the waters off Norway, and this time of year is prime time to see the northern lights in the country.
The lights most frequently appear between September and March.
Thanks, Earth. This is great.
