Born to Explore Iceland: Vikings and Volcanos (2011– ) Online

The Viking tradition is still very much alive in the majestic country of Iceland, where people live in the shadow of Iceland's volcanoes. They have buried villages and caused heartbreak, but the volcanoes and hot springs, which color the landscape, are also a source of geothermal energy for Iceland's streets, homes and hothouses. Join Richard Wiese as he explores Iceland's volcanoes, haunting glaciers and the famed geothermal pool, the Blue Lagoon. Then travel to the idyllic countryside of Skagafjordur. Here, the community rounds up its sheep on the volcanic terrain after a summer of grazing. Every sheep must be located and corralled, as to be left in the wild is certain death. It's part family affair, part local celebration and a Viking tradition that is still carried on today.
