The great black-backed gull is the largest gull species in the world and can appear almost twice the size of smaller gulls like the black-headed gull, with a much more robust build and powerful presence. It is larger than the herring gull, which is a more typical example of what people think of as a "seagull."
Parts of Empire Strikes Back was indeed filmed in Norway. Finse (the e is pronouncd but unstressed) some 1300 km further south of Rolvsøya (technically same as Rolvsøy but with the definite artice: The Rolvsøy). The rabbit is a hare, and almost all hares in Norway have a winter and a summer coating. The bird seems ro be Rock Ptarmigan.
There are two Rolvsøy in Norway, and when you swept over the islands in Finnmark you were close. The island you were looking for is smaller than the ones you focused on, but is close by, right out on the ocean. I grew up on one of the islands you were looking at. The second bird, the one in winter plumage, was a grouse, Finnmark's county bird. Otherwise, it was not a rabbit, but a hare. Next time, search for both the name of the place and the county - i.e. Rolvsøy Finnmark. Then you would have found the right place.

My family is from there. Beautiful place

There are many places called Rolvsøy in Norway. This was Rolvsøya in Finnmark west of North Cape.

Not a rabbit. It is a hare.
And that is 2 different animals 😊😂
Why dont you show the south? This is just some kilometers from Russia
And they use much of Norway in movies ❤
So much is electric in Norway these days. Probably that hare as well...
I was expecting one reindeer, two reindeer, 3.500 reindeer...
No reindeer on the islands in winter.
You really ( I think ) can't grasp how far north and remote this island is.
Do you have family in Norway?😊 I have family in Canada ❤
This vid sux, no bears, no wolwes, no lynx and no wolverines. Obv bears are hard to find mid winter but the rest are possible to find.
