The initial "Hey, look at me, I'm so goofy and out-of-place" demeanor of the "host" was rather offputting, but I got used to it quickly, and focused on what other people said and did. The camera work was a little strange at times, but still conveyed what was going on. This is definitely not National Geographic or NOVA--more like a personal vacation video centering primarily on the traveler--but it still gets you some enlightening local shots. People have it tough above the Arctic circle, and do the best they can to fend for themselves. It's very hard to grow food over the (previously) permanently frozen "permafrost" there, and very expensive to import farmed and manufactured items. The greenhouse with upside-down tomato plants is a great idea. Hey, the permafrost might be melting in a few decades anyway, and then the indigenous people can grow some crops before the glaciers melt, and the sea level rises and drowns everything.It was curious that there was no discussion of climate change, or change in the length of seasons or thickness of ice, or Arctic mammal population change. And the host's profuse, over-the-top, almost sycophantic praise for the raw mammal meat he sampled from the local people--some of it most likely endangered whale--was slightly shocking.This shows that it is possible to be a carnivore while still respecting nature. But I am not used to seeing large slabs of butchered animals, and found the severed dolphin's head to be extremely revolting and saddening. Dolphins are very smart, and I have interacted with them personally, and have never thought of them as food, any more than I would think of a pet dog as food. (No hunting or live butchering is shown.) While this clip is good cultural info, I would suggest that most people watch this at times that are not shortly after a meal.
