Customer Reviews

Video Ok
I thought the video was average. I wished they had spent more time on Iceland and less on Greenland (more visit Iceland by far). I did like Ian the host. Now after visiting Iceland on two ocassions (planning a 3rd trip next year) I realize there is so much more to do in the country then what they presented in the video....but worth it for those who might be on the fence trying to decide whether or not to visit the country. BTW, its worth the trip, what a fantastic country!!

I liked this a lot
I could do without some of the camera silliness, but other than that I thought it was a great program. Ian Wright always does a vastly better job of showing the country he is visiting than the folks who followed him, many of the later shows seem like nothing but a guide to the bars and shopping in the countries visited. Ian certainly leaves you with a feel for how the places really are.

I can understand that the squeamish can't stand the blood and guts in this show, but the intention is to show these places as they are, and it does that. This is frontier land, they don't get their meat at macdonalds, already cooked and wrapped in paper. If you can't handle that, tough luck.

I brought my Mom on a trip to Iceland last year. She kept saying how much she loves to think back on the trip so I purchased this for her. She says she looks at it often and feels like she's back in Reykjavik.
