Iceland
Description
In the middle of the North Atlantic, at the edge of the Arctic Circle, lies the island nation of Iceland. This film explores one of the most volatile places on Earth. Made by volcano-spewed molten rock over millions of years, Iceland was settled by Norsemen more than 1,500 years ago. This island's isolation, continued volcanic activity, and soil conditions make living here a unique challenge.
