DESTINATION WILDERNESS | Arctic : In the Footsteps of the Vikings

#documentary #vikings #arctic

The Vikings reached America nearly 500 years before Christopher Columbus… yet their encounter with the Inuit seems to have ended their adventure. What really happened?

To find answers, the expedition follows in the footsteps of Erik the Red, exploring Iceland’s spectacular landscapes: lava and ice caves, geysers, and tectonic rifts where Norse mythology comes alive.

In Greenland, among towering icebergs, the team discovers in a ghost village a rune-inscribed plaque and a fragment of the largest meteorite ever to fall on Earth.

A film by Patrick Luzeux
Coproduction: GEDEON Programmes
