German documentary series

Wild Scandinavia is a three-part natural history television series, first broadcast on the US network PBS. The series is narrated by Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson.

The series was made by the BBC Studios Natural History Unit, and co-produced by PBS.

Plot

Covering diverse Nordic landscapes—southern Denmark's sandy plains, Iceland's volcanoes, Sweden's forests, and prominently Norway's fjords—the series also features extreme human activities such as fjord cliff BASE jumping. The first episode, "Life on the Edge," showcases wildlife interactions and landscapes, merging subjects and ecological narratives.

Reception

The series had a positive critical reception. John Anderson of The Wall Street Journal praised the series' "startlingly beautiful and intimate imagery", which he considered to be part of "a quiet revolution under way in nature cinematography."
