    The solemn, almost gloomy and at times mystic character of the Northland scenery has been most happily shown in this film, which has a specific educational value. The pictures have been taken in such a manner, that the spectator witnessing them on the screen, can without much mental effort put himself on board the train, which runs through most of the scenes and imagine he sees the things from the windows of his car. While the film as a whole possesses sufficient merit to place it in the category of notable productions there are two points that seem to deserve special mention. The portrayal of the northern lights is one. The latter part of the film is splendidly done and gives a touch of vivifying light to an otherwise perhaps too sombre landscape. The other point has reference to the water scenes, which are quite imposing. The mountain sides covered with innumerable glistening stalactites and all manner of weird and fantastic shapes of ice make a spectacle that well deserved recording in films. - The Moving Picture World, August 26, 1911
