We lie low for a bit,
try and make our way across
the mountains to Freyja's farm.

1:11:05
We can't go back
through that inferno.

1:11:07
No, no, no, no.
We find ice boat, float.

1:11:10
- Very good.
- Boat?

1:11:13
What on earth's he talking about?
1:11:14
I think he wants to find a piece
of pack ice down there...

1:11:16
and float around the mountain.
1:11:18
Preposterous!
1:11:31
Where the whales go to die.
1:11:33
All those great creatures
from every sea lying there...

1:11:36
from the beginning of time.
1:11:40
Just look at all that whalebone...
1:11:42
worth millions of pounds!
1:11:44
And heaven knows what price
the ambergris would fetch.

1:11:49
All that doesn't matter now,
does it, Father?

1:11:53
Freyja! Don't be afraid.
Think of the saga.

1:11:58
Doesn't it tell how, long ago, it was
the whales that led your people here...

1:12:03
where they found peace and happiness,
so there's nothing to fear.

1:12:06
Believe me.
1:12:10
We need ice boat.
How we get down there?

1:12:13
Yes, how?
Not down these cliffs, obviously.

1:12:15
There must be a way.
The Vikings found one.

1:12:18
Freyja, is it in the saga? Does it tell
how they came up from the sea?

1:12:21
With the help of the gods.
1:12:23
It is told that they came
through the mouth of hell.

1:12:26
That's not very explicit,
I'm afraid.

1:12:29
Wait a minute.
That volcano in Iceland, Mount Hekla.

1:12:33
The early Christians believed
that was the entrance to hell.

1:12:35
- What?
- Entrance.

1:12:38
It's a wild thought.
Come on!

1:12:47
- The crater of a dead volcano!
- Quiet!

1:12:52
Do you hear that? Down there somewhere
there's an underground river.

1:12:54
The river must flow down to the sea,
which means there has to be...

1:12:57
a passage from the bottom
of the crater to the bay!

1:12:59
Hello, hello!
