The Moth

The Moth
The other evening, my wife caught on video the biggest nocturnal moth I’ve ever seen in Norway. Does anyone know the species? It was really beautiful and hovered like a hummingbird. My guess would be a tip to tip wing span of about 80mm.

Bølgen – The Wave

Bølgen – The Wave
Norway has produced it’s first disaster movie, based on an entirely plausible scenario where the mountain section known as Åkerneset (https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%85kerneset), slides into the Geiranger fjord. When the landslide happens, it will take ten minutes before an 80 meter / 240ft tall tsunami wave hits Geiranger in the inner end of the fjord. Similar landslides have happened in recent time – http://www.dagbladet.no/magasinet/2008/03/27/530700.html – In 1934, 43 people was killed in Tafjord, Fjørå og Sylte after an 17m high wave hit during night.

Norwegian spoken, and no english subtitles I’m afraid – but that wave is very scary – regardless of language.
