| Summary: | Alexander Armstrong explores Iceland - the land of glaciers and geysers, and summers where the sun never sets. He's on a quest to discover all Iceland has to offer and witnesses erupting geysers, visits breath-taking glaciers and meets a man who bakes bread in boiling water. Alexander also walks through the buzzing streets of Reykjavik, plays a round of midnight golf and rides an Icelandic horse. And in the land where rotten shark is a delicacy, Alexander samples possibly the world's most disgusting dish - so you don't have to. Alexander Armstrong leaves Reykjavik and heads for northern Iceland and the port of Husavik, beloved of whale watchers, Will Ferrell and Eurovision fans the world over. In this laid-back town, he meets a fisherman who has just caught a huge Greenland shark, 20 feet long and worth £3,000. Icelanders consider it a delicacy to eat, but it's regularly voted one of the world's most disgusting food dishes. He also meets Iceland's finest knitter and learns how to make the jumper no Icelander would be seen without - a lopapeysa.
