Although this entry was inspired by this radio programme (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/mainframe.shtml?http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio4_aod.shtml?radio4/advanceofgiantcrabs) -- and the photos you can find on Google Earth when you look at places like BÃ¥tsfjord from above -- I have actually been to Finnmark.

It was 1993, and I was in Finland filming the "Man of Letters" film. I rented a Volvo in Finnish Lappland and drove north through Norway, worrying herds of reindeer, feeding enormous mosquitoes with my blood and videoing myself. Some of the footage ended up on the "Man of Letters" DVD.
