Bear is dropped in Iceland, such a barren, icy country that most Viking settlements perished. Most is rocky and exposed to the grueling wind, forcing Bear to improvise a shelter by digging a ditch in the snow. There are huge glaciers, where he lust tread carefully to avoid being gorged up by deep, traitorously-hidden crevasses. Food and other vegetation are so rare on land he must 'savor' rain worms but the clear glacier water teems with tasty fish, like trout he can 'tickle'-catch. The volcanic sites reek for sulfur. The only way down to the coast is to follow the water, but it's terribly chilling and often hard to follow eroded beds, which constantly change. A hot spring flowing into an icy river inspires Bear to cleverly build a 'natural Jacuzzi', which he enjoys 'au naturel'. After a night in a cave, braving though shrubbery in the lowland he reaches the coast, scavenging -but the beached whale is too rotten- and looking for a pot to be found.
