On the road to unearth Iceland’s secrets...
SYNOPSIS Lured by timeless volcanoes, sweeping glaciers, and medieval landscapes, three journalists and friends descend on Iceland, an island of mystery and intrigue, isolated high in the North Atlantic Ocean, cresting the Arctic circle. The trio aims to ski the country’s impressive volcanoes, glaciers and share a lighthearted journey together, but they are also committed to go beyond and unearth Iceland’s untold stories; whether it’s the overwhelming forces of nature, the country’s remarkable sustainable energy usage or secret myths sewn in the tapestry of the culture for hundreds of years.
