Smalltalk :)

This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here. Hosting is provided by the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and the area is open all year. Care to be one of our volunteer moderators? Contact us!

NRK, Norwegian Broadcaster has produced several slow-TV programs the last 6-7-8 years or so. Right now they are following a move of reindeer from winter pasture to summer pasture, should take a week or two. They interview the ehrm.. sheperds.. or should we say reinherds? herdsman? Whole families is participating, dogs (used in the gathering of the herd), kids and everything, following along on snowmobiles. It's nothing you sit down and watch closely, but it's nice to look into now and then.

Don't know if it's available from abroad, anyone interested could try to go to https://tv.nrk.no/direkte/nrk2 (this always shows whats going on that channel, but these days its mostly reindeers) or https://nrk.no/rein.

I think this is a great sight! (and yes, that small line is the reindeers, going north)

Thanks, interesting. Got a close up of a snowmobile herding, then an action panoramic view of the migration.

Thanks mira and to klmobile thanks for the news link.
This might be a way to try learning Norwegian. The interviews sound very clear.

Thanks!

Perhaps Finnmarksløpet could qualify as a slow-TV, although they don't run that slow, they sleep and it takes a week. Hmm.. where can I suggest that, I wonder..
