The Islander videoclip - surrealist?

I've just been watching the new Nightwish videoclip of The Islander single.
At first it seemed to me that it's a bit surrealist, when I saw that old man pulling that huge 'flying ship. It reminds me of Salvador Dalí's The Temptation of St. Anthony painting[*] - I don't know exactly why, It's just the first thing that came to my mind watching this video. I'm not and expert of arts
I expected to see something totally different in this clip, like..rain, seashore, mountains(maybe), and a typical Scandinavian landscape.
Those ghosts are odd to. - and the fire circle:D Hmmm..I wonder what does it symbolize..
For a moment I thought the rope is going to coil on the old man's feet and pull him into the deep when he drops the anchor.But then he smiles.
Nightwish always manages to surprise me
Maybe I should have paid more attention on the lyrics.
