Scandinavia with Simon Reeve - DVD

Simon Reeve traverses Scandinavia’s breathtaking extremes in this three‑part documentary.

Starting on the icy archipelago of Svalbard, he ventures into Finland’s sub‑arctic Lapland to explore nuclear bunkers and Arctic military training. Crossing into Norway, Simon investigates mega-fish farms, oil and gas infrastructure and the rugged fjords before flying to Iceland to encounter volcanic wonderlands. The journey concludes in Sweden and Denmark, where he meets indigenous Sami herders, bomb‑squad experts, and pioneers of social welfare. Along the way, he uncovers the hidden tensions of NATO–Russia borders, sustainable industry, and cultural resilience.

Sprinkled with adventure, political insight, and surprising revelations, the series peels back Scandinavia’s mythic calm to reveal a region of dynamism, challenge—and undeniable beauty.
