Iceland: Lost in the Desert
Documentary · Adventure
Overview
13 years ago, they didn't know what it was like to cycle in a harsh country. What it means to be knocked off their feet by winds. What it's like to wade through cold glacial rivers. For Algirdas, Iceland was the start of his travels, which led to trips to Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, India, Namibia and countless other countries. After 13 years of wandering, he returns to Iceland to find that what once seemed the most spectacular, beautiful and perfect country is still the same. This time, not without a bike, but with the same uncertainty in his heart: after travelling the world, will Iceland still look like a fairy-tale land? Or has it changed into an unrecognisable land, trampled by tourists...? In this adventure documentary, Dagne, who is seeing Iceland for the first time, travels across the island's inner wilderness, searching for those untouched shards of beauty, and occasionally discovering themselves instead.

The fascinating landscape formations of Iceland in the North Atlantic bear witness to the beauty and primal power of nature. They were created through the interaction of powerful volcanic, geological and biological processes that have been changing the face of the earth for billions of years. This is what the Earth might have looked like four billion years ago. Iceland is the realm of ice and fire. Nowhere else is there such a high density of volcanoes. The landscapes, which are continually reshaped by eruptions, make the island a natural laboratory full of clues about the formation and development of the earth. The documentary follows a group of scientists through the most active areas of Iceland, along a mountain range that has emerged from the ocean. On the slopes of the volcanoes, in the fog of the fumaroles and on streams and rivers, the three researchers explore how the first forms of life populated the earth's surface and in what evolutionary steps they took over the earth.
