Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Situated just below the North Pole, Iceland and Greenland are neighbors in the north Atlantic. The harsh arctic climate and the high cost of living discourage visitors, but those who do come discover some of the most breathtaking and undisturbed scenery in the world. Traveler Ian Wright begins his journey in Iceland s capital Reykjavik. He then hitches a ride to the natural wonders of Gulfoss and Geysir. Moving northeast he travels to Greenland, the world s largest island, where he takes a safari to end his journey at the Arctic Circle. Along the way... Taste the local delicacy fermented shark. Take a dog-sledge trip across snowfields. Join some local Inuit people for dinner. Lean the native language. Spend the night in an ice hole.

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 subsequent 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 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.

I bought this DVD hoping to get some ideas for outdoor expeditions for an upcoming trip to Iceland. Instead, there were gory scenes such as a reindeer getting its throat slit after being shot, and a scene of a bloody, skinned seal. I had to press the stop button on the DVD player before it was over. (As an aside, don't bother buying this if your main interest is Iceland - the majority of the program -- including the scenes referenced above -- is focused on Greenland.)
Definitely not for children or animal-friendly adults!

As opposed to the only other review, I must take an opposing view of this fascinating video. Perhaps I find Ian Wright a charmer as his personality and appearance match those of me and my friends, so his trip journey these north countries felt as though being relayed by a good pal. My only qualm is that I wished the trip were longer. The DVD quality is good and watching Wright trying to navigate a kayak, eat fresh raw fish (nowhere attractively prepared as sashimi)drinking "black death", nude mud bathing, and dog sledding 'cross the frozen tundra, you'd wish you were there.
A highly watchable, sometimes laugh-out-loud, travel video and I look forward to more Globe Trekkers with Mr. Wright!
