The Up Helly Aa, Shetland Islands

Scotland, Shetland Islands, January 31: The Up Helly Aa. In Lerwick, 1000 people dressed in the Viking fashion (winged helmets, axes, shields, and lit torches), gather and march through the streets of the town, with a galley. The ship is then burned on a pyre. Virile encounters from another time.
