As a norwegian, what is almost as impressive as your cinematography and narrative skills are what looks like a complete absence of tourists in your shots.
Haha I was surprised by the low traffic on the trails- probably helps that most of this was shot quite late at night or early in the morning. Midday seemed pretty slammed :)
I walked for days on Hardangervidda once, you don't necessarily meet a lot of people at all. Many hours can pass between each time you pass someone on the trail.

@@helmut_steiner But which condition is "normal"...the depth of the Little Ice Age, referenced in this video, or the medieval warm period which preceded it? Are the glaciers dying or returning to normal?
@@kdub3890 Example from my home country: Experts are saying that the last Austrian glaciers will be completely gone by 2050. So, as far as I am concerned, they are definitely dying which is a catastrophe as they fuel streams and rivers during summer and are an important source of drinking water all around the globe.
@@helmut_steiner I think our man is trying to imply that climate change is a hoax, and it's all just natural variations. Nevermind all the horrible catastrophes that will follow in its wake - like what you just described. There are some rivers in China that will do the same, and some in South America that'll really fuck up food supply globally.
I grew up on the western coast of norway, and it's so wonderful to see people appreciating the land there. I can't be convinced that there's anywhere more beautiful than home. There's just nothing quite like quiet days in the fjords.
The little details in this film, my goodness. The blue color shift when you are talking about earth getting colder, the spinning top representing the earth rotation, the moment of silence at the end... incredible work Aidin. Keep sharing these amazing stories
As a Norwegian geography student, what I remember the best from when we studied glaciology was that as late as the 1800s, Norwegians believed erratics (those out-of-place boulders they couldn't explain) must have been placed there by trolls. They were _that_ inexplicable.
Everything from the concept, story, cinematography, to editing and beyond as absolutely astounding, doubly so considering this is just one dedicated guy and not a huge-budget professional TV station!
I love the feeling of adventure and cinema your videos convey, Aidan. Also at 08:05 I needed to see that thing fall to confirm we're not stuck in the Inception dreamworld. Now I'll never know! ~Chris
Your videos have a look like nothing else on UA-cam. Really high production values, beautiful cinematography and direction of photography. Your UA-cam channel feels like a BBC Earth production. Fantastic way to deliver science and history...compelling storytelling combined with images so beautiful I can't look away!
This is really solid pop science and storytelling! Kudos. I have only one suggestion (for a post-script). The calculations of Milancowich were solid more than a hundred years ago, but it took more than 50 years to demonstrate their impact on the natural variability of the global climate. Most of us will say that the theory was settled in 1976, by empirical data presented by Hays, Imbrie and Shackleton (1976). "Variations in the Earth's Orbit: Pacemaker of the Ice Ages". Science. 194. This is a tale we often see in science but it is rarely commented upon. Science is a very slow and very elaborate human cooperation. Generations of small incremental advances are needed: Learning how to core the deep ocean, how plankton fractionate Oxygen isotopes and how global ice volume alters the ratio of O16 and O18 in the global ocean water. Learning how to clean and measure the ocean samples. Learning how to date the sediment cores .... this list of needed scientific quickly becomes long. We have seen the same with the Higgs Boson. It was theoretically outlined in the early 1960s, but we had to wait half a century before one could confirm it by measurements in 2012. Einstein implicitly showed that gravity waves were a thing in General Relativity. That one took a century to confirm by observations... News is filled with "scientists have discovered" headlines - as if something completely new just dropped out of the sky while in reality, pretty much every single little observation made is sitting on the tail end of a long and deep collaborative history of science itself. (An extra PS: It took until 1993 before science really got a hold of well-known (and non-orbital) glacial changes (such as the well-described "Younger Dryas" described already around 1900 as a sudden cold reversal at the end of the last glacial). To truly start to get a handle on these rapid events, known to exist for almost a century, the ice-coring communities and the ocean-coring communities had to work for decades on how to get enough temporal resolution out of the data so that one could have multiple independent data-points to describe violent and rapid events with statistical significance. Others had been developing "tephra-chronologies" that allowed for much better "cross data-set" timing control than radiometric methods can allow. Others had turned the effing magnetic field of our planet into global chronological points of reference for the same reason. I am not a storyteller, but you are. I think your sensibilities and communication skills can make even these side stories into something interesting for a wider audience since I believe all these stories from the tiny (the standard theory) to the large (general relativity) to the planet we walk on individually illustrate how time itself is necessary for advances of our collective understanding. To quote my favourite science communicator of all time, Carl Sagan (and his wife and co-author Ann Druyan): 'If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe". This is the humble pie every publishing scientist is bowing to in the reference list at the end of papers (cut very short, since no one can not reference the entire works of Maxwell and Fourier (or Pythagoras) and what followed every time details are shared). I thoroughly enjoyed this "essay". Thank you.
This is such a beautiful video Aidin. Thank you for making this, it really struck a chord with me. The silence when you showed the landscape at 15:50 gave perfect room for me to cry a little bit. Thank you.
I learned about these processes in school, but I didn't know that the ice age was discovered here in Norway. When I think about it, it makes sense. The ice age is so recent here that the land is still rising
Here in the state of Ohio the north part of the state is entirely composed of ancient glacial landscapes, there is massive moraines in western Ohio, huge glacial-carved valleys like the Cuyahoga Valley, and massive amounts of boulders were the ice sheet stopped during the last Glacial Maximum. This video is a amazing example of the science behind the discovery of the ice age, and I can't wait to see more videos like it!
Brilliant video that clearly shows how powerful Ice truly is. As a Dane I want to add to this by saying that our entire country is made of glacial deposits by the very same massive ice ages that once covered northern Europe. All the granite rocks on Danish beaches can be matched to Swedish and Norwegian mountain ranges. So can the sand, dirt, clay and even the plants and animal species. The rolling hills of Denmark are a direct result of massive glaciers carving them out and all the abnormally large stones found around Denmark, are all placed here by the very same glaciers. Scandinavia is a beautiful, living example of how powerful water and especially ice can be.
Best b-roll on youtube!!! No fancy after effects, all done in camera. Love the candle light print sequences, but holy crap are the nature shots amazing, love the little camera shake and goodness graious the drone shots are just perfect!! Doesn't hurt that Norway is very photogenic either haha. One of the best ones yet Aiden! keep up the good work, looking forward to all future productions!
I watched this video this morning. All day it’s been playing on my mind - I’m envisioning the land around me covered in meters of ice. Not many UA-cam videos invoke such feelings. Simply amazing.
What a story teller! The way you can pair incredible visuals with a great story and still make it educational is beautiful. It's also great that someone is covering these topics because as a studying Earth scientist it makes me very happy. Great stuff!
The way you tie the whole video together with the motif of the spinning top is fantastic... they way you use every aspect of the format to create an engaging experience is incredible
Man, how you deliver tonnes of information in a cinematic way that manages to hook people up is appreciated. I am learning a lot watching your videos. Thank you ❤
Your videos are not just greatly informative and brilliantly written; they're also visual masterpieces. Love the content; you've made a fan across the globe.
Had my full attention throughout the entire video, great cinematography, and storytelling. As a Norwegian, revisiting and unveiling new information is always a great pleasure. Great work!
The beauty of your videos is always so exquisite, that they bring a tear to my eye. I try my best to notice every detail of your videos and the realization of the culmination of the bigger picture of these details always entrances me as I hang on every word. I hope you never stop doing what you do. You have such a beautiful mind and heart. Thank you for inspiring me to get out there and actually help make a difference in environmental conservation!
The cinematography in this video is really beautiful. You have done a really great job at showing Norway's nature. Great storytelling as well man really cool!
Love your videos! It’d obviously be a huge commitment, but I’d love to see you do a video on a major hike like PCT, El Camino de Santiago, the temple pilgrimage in Japan, etc.
I can't believe I'm only now finding this channel. The history, storytelling, cinematography, everything is perfection! btw how did you get the tops to follow the orbit lines??
Aidin, wow. I dont usually comment on videos like this but, and having recently found your channel, I must say its absolutely incredible what you produce. Im so jelous of the places you visit and dream of visiting them too one day, but the content you produce shares these amazing places with buzzing geographers just like me. Your story telling, videography and the spinning top shot at around 7 and a half minutes I mean wow! Keep it up, absolutely legendary stuff as per usual.
Thank you for making this video, it truly touches me. I am an Iceland, raised between the Glaciers of the west, langjökull and eyríksjökull to my east, and snæfellsjökull to my west, all visable from a hill near my childhood home, but now they have all started to shrink, and will be gone in 6 generations time, snæfellsjökull in only 2… thank you, truly
Thank you for making such an incredible piece. I'm local in the area, and have seen quite a few projects filmed here, but this is unique. You're a very skilled narrator!
Mate your videos are getting next level awesome. Keep up the great work! I was in Norway and Iceland last year it’s a videographers dream over there! Love your work buddy looking forward to your next episode
Your channel gives me the chills. I love how you explain and show the world that is ever changing. I truly wish I could have the opportunity to see it all
This is my Engagement comment. I dont have anything to say but this channel deserves way more subs. Cheers! Heres some engagement! Hopefully the algorithm sends this video to more people.
Incredible. Really, your work just keeps improving and the story telling is so captivating. Nice work and glad you got to see those beautiful scenes in person 👍👍
That was fantastic. Storytelling, informative, interesting, visual, skilled execution, motion graphics, sound design, pacing… seriously, so very well done. Thank you!
This video really inspired me to learn more about this planet we get to live on! What beautiful shots you took too man! Thanks for teaching me something!
Honestly, this channel helps me find peace whenever I'm stressed in this world full of calamity. Takes my mind off the bad for 20 or so minutes and makes me relive the child like wonder of the past and remember the importance to explore the world around us and my self.
You published this video a mere 1 month after I visited my first ever Glacier in Jasper National Park, Alberta. It was such a spiritual experience for me as an environmental scientist and it was such a confirming moment as I realize, "these are things i wish to protect, these are the views and phenomena i want the rest of the world to see and experience the gravity and importance." I think this video does that beautifully thabk you!
As an environmental scientist, this was an amazing presentation on the formation of our understanding of these complex natuaral phenomenon and how they have played a part in our understanding of the world we inhabit. Great work! 😊
I went up to Banff, Canada and the Canadian Rockies were very much carved by Glaciers. I love the educational bits about nature. And it’s truly a wonder. Thank you for the incredible video and adding another spot in the world of where I want to visit.
Just amazing work as always, Aidin. Your practical effects are mind blowing. Please keep creating this deep and thoughtful content; you're inspiring millions!
Im from norway, the theory has long ben known to me, and this is the best video I have seen on it so far, very well explained and put together! Keep this up!
This is such a fantastic video! The history and storytelling intertwine with the cinematography perfectly. Excellent work! You’ve gained a new subscriber
"The silence of death" ... "only the whistling of the northern wind" ... "and the rumbling of crevasse", and then the rumbling sound effect at 6:34 is a perfect blending of quotes, scenery, and sound effect. I'd love to know the sound effect you used at 6:34; four the video description I know its from Epidemic Sounds, but I don't have a subscription for them nor do I want to. Just thought I might say that I really liked it.
This is such an excellent video man! Great graphics & footage, and no over-abundance of filler information like in many other essays. Looking forward to more
That was interesting! I love glaciers and have read a lot about Louis Agassiz, Jean de Charpentier and others pioneers of glacier study, but I don't remember ever hearing of Jens Esmark. Well, being Swiss I am biased in remembering Swiss people. Giving credit to the right person is often difficult, as new theories and discoveries always almost come gradually, with contributions from many people. Crediting the right people is complicated even more by by there having always been people claiming any possible theory, and often it is only possible to see much later if a theory was correct and based on solid observations and not just. It is often easiest to credit the people who popularized something, rather than those who initially came up with it. Who to credit is complicated even further by ideology. Louis Agassiz was born in Switzerland, where he did great work on geology. His main field of study was ichthyology, but as he worked with fossils and was a good geologist he also worked on other fields related to geology, like glaciers. He later moved to the USA, where unfortunately his focus gradually moved away from geology to "human studies", where he tried to prove the superiority of certain human races over others. This very racist side of Louis Agassiz has long been completely blended out in Switzerland, but has come back in the last two decades, leading to increasing pressure to renames places and mountains named after him, and even to just completely remove him from history. It is tricky to tell history in a good way.
the images in this video are insane, its diffuclt to believe that theyre from this earth. also i assume you have a diffusion filter on your camera? the footage is really nice and bloomy

Stunning photography and information as usual,thank you so much,your channel and presenting style are fantastic 😬🏴🙏🏻
This video really inspired me to learn more about this planet we get to live on! What beautiful shots you took too man! Thanks for teaching me something!
I know it myself, how difficult it is to put together an interesting storry about ice and rocks... I must say, very well done 😊
Always worth waiting for your videos truly stunning.
Once again, blown away by the storytelling and production vallue. looking forward to the next documentary!
Honestly, this channel helps me find peace whenever I'm stressed in this world full of calamity. Takes my mind off the bad for 20 or so minutes and makes me relive the child like wonder of the past and remember the importance to explore the world around us and my self.
Great research and wonderful story. Thank you for sharing. Nice to see you in Norway 😊
Quality content as always. keep up the good work man. 👍🏻
I’ve been binging through all your videos your sense of colour and composition is something that inspires me so much; amazing storytelling
You published this video a mere 1 month after I visited my first ever Glacier in Jasper National Park, Alberta. It was such a spiritual experience for me as an environmental scientist and it was such a confirming moment as I realize, "these are things i wish to protect, these are the views and phenomena i want the rest of the world to see and experience the gravity and importance." I think this video does that beautifully thabk you!
As an environmental scientist, this was an amazing presentation on the formation of our understanding of these complex natuaral phenomenon and how they have played a part in our understanding of the world we inhabit. Great work! 😊
This was a such a great video, the cinematography, your narrating, the music. It felt I was actually there, almost teared up.
I went up to Banff, Canada and the Canadian Rockies were very much carved by Glaciers. I love the educational bits about nature. And it’s truly a wonder. Thank you for the incredible video and adding another spot in the world of where I want to visit.
Just amazing work as always, Aidin. Your practical effects are mind blowing. Please keep creating this deep and thoughtful content; you're inspiring millions!
great work once again
It’s laughable that this only has 280k views, it deserves MILLIONS! Well done mate, you’re super talented
What a great documentary my friend ❤
Amazing vids mate. Better than anything on TV. Unbiased and beautifully written and filmed.
that intro gave me chills. I mean honestly amazing overall.
your videos are meditative aiden.... this was amazing
Superbly filmed as all your content. I've just found your channel and find it to be one of, if not the Best of its kind. Wonderful work. Respect
I love how you blended a Johnny Harris-esque narration style with insane cinematography and interstitial editing
Really awesome
Im from norway, the theory has long ben known to me, and this is the best video I have seen on it so far, very well explained and put together! Keep this up!
This is such a fantastic video! The history and storytelling intertwine with the cinematography perfectly. Excellent work! You’ve gained a new subscriber
Thank you, from a first time viewer, new subscriber, and grandson of Norwegians.
This deserves so much more attention amazing video!!
"The silence of death" ... "only the whistling of the northern wind" ... "and the rumbling of crevasse", and then the rumbling sound effect at 6:34 is a perfect blending of quotes, scenery, and sound effect. I'd love to know the sound effect you used at 6:34; four the video description I know its from Epidemic Sounds, but I don't have a subscription for them nor do I want to. Just thought I might say that I really liked it.
Glad you dig it! The rumbling is a landslide sound effect, played at 50% speed with a pretty heavy lowpass filter
@@AidinRobbins Ah, that's really innovative! Thank you for sharing!
Your channel is the best discovery I have ever made on this platform. Keep the great job Aidin, we love your work!

The ending removed all the stress/doubtfulnes i had in my mind. Thanks mate 🙏🙏
This is such an excellent video man! Great graphics & footage, and no over-abundance of filler information like in many other essays. Looking forward to more
Glad you dig it! Filler information requires filler footage, and that's a lot of work :)
That was interesting! I love glaciers and have read a lot about Louis Agassiz, Jean de Charpentier and others pioneers of glacier study, but I don't remember ever hearing of Jens Esmark. Well, being Swiss I am biased in remembering Swiss people.
Giving credit to the right person is often difficult, as new theories and discoveries always almost come gradually, with contributions from many people. Crediting the right people is complicated even more by by there having always been people claiming any possible theory, and often it is only possible to see much later if a theory was correct and based on solid observations and not just. It is often easiest to credit the people who popularized something, rather than those who initially came up with it.
Who to credit is complicated even further by ideology. Louis Agassiz was born in Switzerland, where he did great work on geology. His main field of study was ichthyology, but as he worked with fossils and was a good geologist he also worked on other fields related to geology, like glaciers. He later moved to the USA, where unfortunately his focus gradually moved away from geology to "human studies", where he tried to prove the superiority of certain human races over others. This very racist side of Louis Agassiz has long been completely blended out in Switzerland, but has come back in the last two decades, leading to increasing pressure to renames places and mountains named after him, and even to just completely remove him from history. It is tricky to tell history in a good way.
Just found your channel and has been watching 1-2 videos a day, love the filmmaking and storytelling!
5:52 interesting lake
This is actually top notch! Fantastic storytelling
the images in this video are insane, its diffuclt to believe that theyre from this earth.
also i assume you have a diffusion filter on your camera? the footage is really nice and bloomy
Just adding some bloom in post! I should start using some real diffusion one of these days
@@AidinRobbins theyre amazing, i use a black mist myself. they give of such a nice touch
Aiden ! My guy ! You never fail to amaze me and make my soul happy! You are the epitome of cinematography for me. Period.
