McCormick, Ian Wright and Neil Gibson explore Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Lapland, Finland and the Baltic States.

Norway and Lapland - Ian Wright braces himself for the Norwegian cold and begins his journey high on a cliff in Stavanger to witness extreme base jumping. Travelling via Bergen and Voss he reaches the mountain resort town of Stryn where he tries his hand at telemark skiing. Ian crosses the Arctic Circle into Lapland and finds himself the dinner guest of a Sami reindeer farmer in his family’s traditional Labu tent. His journey ends near the North Pole with an ice diving trip on the remote island of Spitsbergen.
