    • @eanilsen
      @eanilsen 7 лет назад +3

      That's true, people have various tolerances. But Chris, regardless of how good he is (he's without a doubt amazing), keeps bigging up these places, talking about how harsh and deserted they are, when often, that's not the case. It also shows a complete lack of awareness, when they know that arctic explorers and Greenlanders are working and living under circumstances that actually can be described with the words that's being used in this vid. It's called perspective, and I would assume a traveling photographer would have some.
      Yes, some of it has to do with tolerance, but other times, it's just not correct what's "reported". Look at the Lofoten Islands edit - talking about the sea like it's unused and not known to the locals, when it's been the main source of income since the viking age. Almost disrespectful, IMO.

      Not to mention the fact that he 'wants to show the world that these places exist' as well as almost made it into 'history books'. I like the video/short film he created and agree that these landscapes are somewhat underrepresented. However, his way of describing his adventure reflects that typical Western perspective on nature/foreign cultures that is so incompatible with the icelandic spirit.
