Eight anglers embark on their first expedition to the wilderness of Iceland where they brave extreme cold, wind and rain to fish in some of the most challenging conditions they have ever faced. In the north-west, close to the Arctic Circle, the anglers fish from sea kayaks in the freezing fjord before learning to harvest cod using the traditional Icelandic technique. Further south, in a lake heated by volcanic vents, they fly-fish for some of the largest brown trout in the world. Matt Hayes is joined by local fishing expert, Vala. She will help him judge which angler must leave the expedition while the rest journey onto the next location in their global expedition.
