Beautiful video that makes you forget that the weather up there is often much less favorable :-) The distances are indeed quite stunning. You probably know this example: travel from the North Cape to Rome - by the time you reach Oslo (via E6) you have almost reached the half-way point of the journey (and never left Norway).
Norway is very large through its E6 corridor. Stavanger - Kirkenes via E6 is 3,000 kilometers, similar to driving two-thirds across the United States, or Paris to Ankara or Moscow. Even northern Norway is huge, Kirkenes - Narvik is similar to driving all the way across France.
Dude nice road! I actually live in Kirkenes And im going multiple times on the E6 road and i use to go with these Snelandia buses to Varangerbotn and back to Kirkenes
Thank you for this media-video! I've often wondered what the northern part of Norway was like, this filled the bill for me! Nice area, has to be pretty in the fall with all the autumn colors!
On your V shaped bay comment, a V shaped bay in Norway is called a Vik. Often found at the inner ends of fjords. :) If it's U shaped like what bays are more commonly known as, it's a "bukt". There's speculation that this is what "Viking" comes from.
I stopped here 4:08 for the WC back in 2017 😀. I had been driving behind a driving school car for a while at the time and it had be wonder how they can practice driving on motorways up here. 🤔The closest real motorway is about 700km away in Finland.

Aha, so the now dissolved fylke of Viken was named after the Oslofjord V-shape?
@@EuropeanRoads Yep, pretty much. Same with the end of the Oslo fjord in Oslo itself. The area the Opera House sits in, Bjørvika.
A vik or bukt is a small feature, anything very large would be a fjord.
Great drive! Are you Chris from AA Forum?
What camera are you using, lovely drive again
this was recorded with a GoPro Hero 8 Black

There's no requirement to learn motorway driving.
So what you should do if for example your car break down in such remote place?
U didnt watch that nat geo show did you.
Call roadside assistance? Norway has excellent 4G coverage even in remote areas and in almost all tunnels.
