00:06As the last ice age came to an end, a new Nordic region emerged.
00:11The thickness of the glacier had been up to three kilometers.
00:16Then, 8,000 years ago, all the ice was gone.
00:34But the ice left behind large moraines of gravel, the remains of crushed mountains.
00:41It's on such a moraine that Sigrid and Ender's farm is located.
00:47The moraine soil is excellent for fruit farming.
00:52The mixture of stone and gravel creates natural drainage
00:56and preserves the heat in the soil effectively.
01:00This is a good starting point.
01:02But fruit trees need water.
01:06At Elmheim, it doesn't rain much.
01:09But again, the cold winter plays an important role
01:12in what takes place during the summer.
01:15The snow that falls in the mountains during the winter
01:18gets trapped by the cold temperatures.
01:22Only when spring arrives will it melt.
01:26Perfect timing for the growing season down by the fjord.
