Iceland with Alexander Armstrong
Season 1 Episode 2 of 3
Alexander Armstrong leaves Reykjavik and heads for northern Iceland and the port of Husavik, beloved of whale watchers, Will Ferrell and Eurovision fans the world over. In this laid-back town, he meets a fisherman who has just caught a huge Greenland shark, 20 feet long and worth £3,000. Icelanders consider it a delicacy to eat, but it's regularly voted one of the world's most disgusting food dishes. He also meets Iceland's finest knitter and learns how to make the jumper no Icelander would be seen without - a lopapeysa
Iceland with Alexander Armstrong airs on Channel 5 at 11:55 AM, Sunday 17 November. (Subtitles, repeat.)
