2021 Drone Videos of the Week: Episode 26

Check out this stunning drone video of a picturesque village in Norway's Lofoten Islands, compliments of multiple Drone Video of the Week Winner oculusfilms.  The village of Reine is built on a peninsula and several tiny islets of the larger island of Moskenesøya, one of the southern Lofoten Islands, an archipelago which lies off Norway's northern coast.  Located within the Arctic Circle, the climate here is surprisingly mild due to the warming effect of the ocean.  It's frequently cited as being one of Norway's most beautiful villages.
