Iceland (2x6)

Exibido em:: Dez 19, 1991

Phillip Schofield visits Europe's most westerly capital during this year's turbulent meeting of the International Whaling Commission as Iceland campaigned to resume commercial whaling. He talks to whaling fleet-owner Kristjan Loftsson , Greenpeace campaigner Ami Finnsson , and goes on the first whale safari. He is attacked by Arctic terns on the golf course, crosses Europe's biggest glacier in a satellite-guided jeep, and awakens a geyser with a box full of soap. He engages in conversation with rock star Bubbi Morthens and Bjork Gudmundsdottir , lead singer of the country's biggest rock export, the Sugarcubes, in the world's most northerly curry house; and talks to film director Hrafn Gunnlaugsson who makes "cod westerns" featuring fantasy re-creations of the Viking settlers. And finally, Schofield meets Sveinbjorn Beinteinsson , high priest of the pagan religion Asatru, and Erla, an elf expert, who has mapped the city sites where she believes elves, dwarves and gnomes reside.
