I hear you. My favourite films are those outdoor landscape type movies. I think that was one small reason why I liked Ragnarok (though the story was good anyway) But there were some beautiful shots of the fjords.
But give me the north pole....or siberia....or Canada etc, put a lot of wolves in it and maybe one guy trying to live off-grid....and I am in seventh heaven

Totally! Darn, we are entirely movie escape compatible!!
Can't decide if Last Kingdom is better than Vikings. They differ, and I love them both!
Fjords- will watch anything involving a fjord.
And strangly, I read several very unusual books that involved Artic Exploration....there is this very obscure book called Kabloona. Mind Blowing..a Frenchman goes to the Arctic. Like back in the past, and you can palpably taste the experience of this "other world" and these "other people" living there in it.
So then I read Pullman's Dark Materials- back when I could read books. Ok- this is the Worlds I want to live in. This is the reality I think is truely IT. We were never disconnected from the animals. And that separation..is how we have drifted away from who we truely are.
So what is with Svalbard? So intriguing. And is this the location where the endangered seeds of the world are stored in giant vaults?!!
YES: the vault is there!!
This is the MOST IMPORTANT ROOM IN THE WORLD

All of this taken together suggests, great power in cold stone and ice, and our longing for it, perhaps stemming from the issue that- we now are dreaming and the ice is changing. And we stash our seeds.
