I caught the last few of the series on CBC a while back. I thought this series was awesome. I'm looking forward one of these days to get the HD-DVD for this.

All these aerial shots were caught using an HD camera and a hot air balloon. It's really quite amazing what they were able to film.

The song is Hoppipola by an Icealndic band called Sigur Ros who sing in their native language which makes it difficult for most of us to sing along!

Not just Icelandic, either. Sigur Ros = win.

where is that very green lake in the beginning?
