Wild Way of the Vikings

In the heartlands of Central Norway, reindeer were perhaps the single most significant wild animal for the early Vikings. See how a large herd moves together like a swirling cyclone as a way to confuse any predator, including a Viking.

Seal-hunting orcas know exactly how to exploit time and tide. Like Viking raiders, they are ruthless, well organized and fiercely intelligent.

These versatile birds thrive in the air and sea. With their six-foot long wingspan, gannets can hover, glide, soar and dive. With folded wings, they torpedo down to depths of 20 feet or more to snatch fish from the edges of the Faroe Islands shoal.

Go behind the scenes with the crew to find out more about the making of this epic film. From capturing the behaviors of orcas to avoiding diving gannets, recreating the world of the Vikings was no easy task.
