  • In this episode I am riding 700 kilometers in one day to reach North Cape. I am rushing because winter is coming and at 71 degrees northern latitude it is getting cold! It's a stunning ride with fantastic scenery and lots of reindeer along the way. Was it worth coming up all the way here? DEFINITELY!

    Never realized the Arctic Circle latitude actually changed nor how it was determined - an excellent lesson!

    • @abellseaman4114
      @abellseaman4114 Před 3 lety +2

      the Arctic Circle is the point beyond which the sun does not set for at least one day per year during summer months - conversely it is the point beyond which the sun does not rise for at least one day per year during winter months. And all due to the fact that Earth axis is tilted about 23 degrees off the vertical.

      @@rsmith1946 It seems HIGHLY LIKELY that Melankovitch Cycles DO IN FACT INFLUENCE GLOBAL WARMING!
      AS we know - when Earth is at one side of its yearly orbit - then northern hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun and thus gets LESS DIRECT SUNLIGHT - which produces winter!
      At the opposite side of our yearly orbit - northern hemisphere is tilted much more TOWARDS THE SUN and thus gets MORE direct sunlight and we enjoy summer at that time!
      It is quite elementary and badly undermines LIE-beral climate hysteria propaganda - which is why they do not speak of it!

      @@rsmith1946 Of course it does. As the Arctic Circle moves north at a rate of between 14 and 15 metres per year, it stands to reason that the ice will move north at a similar rate. In around 10,000 years earth will be at its hottest and in around 61,000 years earth will experience another ice age.

    i could listen to you speak about Milankovitch cycles all day long ☺ Love all these Norway journey's you and Ronin share with us. Thank you 🙏 Namaste lovely human. Safe journeys out there please ✌
    Edit* Since you showed interest in the strange cloud formations @14:30, thought I might share with you what you were mostly seeing. The main cloud cover was predominantly low lying stratos, with a smattering of nimbostratus here and there (the dark grey sections). You can tell stratos from the way the sun only is kind of just dimly visible behind it. (Cumulus will mostly block the sun, with some radiant light lighting up the edges of the cumulus, whereas with other high lying clouds like cirrostratos, the sun will have a halo around it). @14:40, in the top RH corner of screen, you can see a stack of Lenticular clouds. These are very cool, and in fact, when i was climbing in NZ i would often see these. Incidentally, these lenticular formations are also called "hogs back" clouds, and when you're in the mountains, these type of formations usually indicate weather is about to close in.
    Just thought I would share with you my passion for meteorology, since you were so open and sweet to share your passion for geology/planetary science with us. Also, as a side note Noraly, if you ever felt compelled to do a little video of you talking about your favourite things in geology, and your past experiences in the field, I for one, would be very interested in listening to/watching that 😊💯

    One of my closest friends, a member of my motorcycle riding group with whom I have ridden over 150,000 miles in 17 yrs , was killed on a sharp New Mexico curve September 25. There is family pressure on some of us to quit riding. This video, and others like it, confirm why I won’t quit until I am so old (currently 78) I can’t get a leg over my bike or can’t remember how to start it. Thank you Noraly.

    Thanks for introducing your CZcams audience to Milankovich cycles. It’s important that people understand that the Earth’s climate is modulated by well defined astronomical driving forces. Human’s impacts on climate through the burning of fossil fuels is separate from those forces but overlaid on top of them in a way that we are just starting to understand. Whenever you stop travelling the world, there’s a place for you to educate young people about the true nature of the global environment and their role in preserving all of the wondrous places that exist on our planet!

    That 500cc Honda is perfectly sized for Noraly's stature and European travels. It handles highways with aplomb and doesn't vibrate like her Royal Enfield with a single cylinder. That leads to less exhaustion after a long day's ride. The Himalayan bikes do travel well on rough/broken/gravel and trail roads; that is what it is designed to excel covering.

    speeds( not a very wise thing to do in unknown roads), often camping in atrocious conditions and eating so little.

      Noraly is indeed an inspired scientist and thanks to her inspiration and the CZcams system she is also a rising star. There is no need for CZcams to remove the downward thumbs because, in a way, math does this for us by providing the proportions required for understanding. Only one out of every 2611 viewers has given a thumbs down. It is a fact which, being true, is a part of reality, no matter how much the rest of us love Noraly, her fine mind and her magnificent productions. Statistically, it is likely that no two thumbs down were given for the same reason. I appreciate your feelings on the matter, though. They also are true and a part of reality.

I know about the Earth's "wobble", but I did not know how the Arctic Circle is defined, thereby causing it to move with that wobble. I was just aware of how the wobble defines the night sky. Nor did I know we are about in the middle of a cycle. Thank you for that! And, yes, the immense beauty of the mountains and fjords carved by the last ice age! Oh, and what a gorgeous little cabin at the end of the day.

Multiple camera angles and especially when you hand hold (and move) the camera on the stick. Next, the editing and music are always spot on awesome. (love the reverse motion pan at 13:16). THEN on top of that I got to learn things I didn't know about the Arctic Circle. I knew the earth's tilt changes but your detailed description of how and why the Arctic Circle moves blew me away (especially when 2050 isn't even a blink when it comes to cosmic time). *Stunningly beautiful ride* 😍
