“At first glance, the wide sloping field off the western shores of Lake Winnipeg looks like a death metal convention gone very very wrong” — the words this episode of Nat Geo Digital Nomad Robert Reid. He’s reporting from the Viking battle reenactment of Gimli, Manitoba’s annual Icelandic Festival — one of the longest running cultural festivals in North America. 

In this episode, we explore deep into that Viking heart of New Iceland — From Gimli, to Mountain, North Dakota.  Two towns divided by a border, but inextricably linked by their surprising and storied Icelandic roots.
