Norway's West Cape: With the Dagmar Aaen through Rough Seas
Manage episode 428002831 series 3425492
In this episode, Arved Fuchs shares his journey with the Dagmar Aaen through Stadthavet, one of the most treacherous sections of the Norwegian coast near the Stadlandet peninsula. This area is notorious for its dangerous cross seas caused by conflicting currents, and it's said that over 50 shipwrecks lie on its seabed.
Due to the perilous nature of this region off Norway's West Cape, the government is planning to build a ship tunnel to make the passage safer, as Arved Fuchs explains in the episode. He also discusses his visit to the Hardanger Maritime Center in Norheimsund, where the focus is on traditional crafts and historic ships, and his time at the Norwegian Maritime Competence Center in Alesund, which is preparing for rising sea levels and the impact of climate change on Norway's extensive coastline.
