Episode

Arthur has to contend with situations of extreme cold, and with the icy winds that converge in Iceland. Wind speeds on the island can hit anywhere between 60 and 80 kms per hour.

But the island is also known for being a crossroads of numerous types of wind, some of which are mild. The Hnjukapeyr, for example, brings distinctly warmer weather with it. Caught in these conflicting airstreams, Arthur is in for more than one surprise.
