There's more to Norway than fresh seafood and majestic fjords. A leader in shipbuilding, we'll go behind the scenes to witness how the Norwegian company is changing the way ocean vessels are made. Ulstein X-Bow has developed a revolutionary new hull that's designed to provide a smoother ride for cargo and a safer journey for the crew. Ski flying takes ski jumping to a whole new level, and construction crews are hard at work building the world's highest, and most dangerous ski flying jump. The world championships are coming to Norway so the race is on to complete construction in time. Other stories include a test lab that destroys products to make them better, and an ammunitions plant that is one of the largest in the world.
