By utilizing the helipad on his yacht instead of landing on Norwegian soil, he sidestepped the legal requirements.

Did the helicopter not land on the mountain top? Or did he rappel down? Or is it irrelevant because there is no evidence?

Helicopters can hover barely above the ground, landing is usually considered to touch down and power off the engine... but yeah, it's splitting hairs.

If they don't want helicopters, then they should apply the rules to the airspace. Maybe they'll change it now.
