“(About Bølgen) This, the tsunami, will actually happen there one day. There is this crack in the mountainside out in the fjord, and it keeps expanding each year and at some point it will cause a huge rockslide into the fjord and they will have ten minutes before the wave reaches Geiranger. So we wanted to stay true to the facts - to what geologists think will be the facts one day. And, of course, as a bonus it is one of the most beautiful places in Norway, so I thought the contrast between the spectacular nature and the destructive forces that it can cause made for some powerful images.”
