How it feels

This documentary follows a Danish expedition to Iceland. They travel from Reykjavik to a farm, load supplies onto horses, and visit a volcano that erupted in 1934. The team sets up camp on a glacier, uses warm ash to melt snow, drills into the ice, and explores a glacial crevasse. They also show a drained lake, two waterfalls, and a glacial river.
