Den Store Havfrue/ The Giant Mermaid

7 min video

Science meets fairytale in this video that starts with the opening paragraph of HC Andersens famous tale about The Little Mermaid. The narrator then changes stories and reads scientific documents and articles about giant squids that have beached on the Norwegian coast, and especially in the Trondheim fjord. We watch a giant squid struggling for her life as we listen to harp music by Sigrun Tara Øverland.
