Iceland had the Viking clap at Euro 2016. Norway, back at the World Cup for the first time since 1998, has rowing. The stands row in unison. Yesterday even parliament joined in mid-session. A nation of rowers, and there is history behind that👇

The Scalloway Fire Festival 10.1, first recorded in the late 19th century, began as a local adaptation of midwinter celebrations to commemorate Shetland’s heritage and traditions and is now an annual January event featuring a torchlit procession, a Jarl Squad in Viking attire, and the burning of a specially built galley. It acknowledges Shetland’s historical ties to Norway—Shetland was under Norwegian rule until 1469—and commemorates ancient Norse customs once observed during midwinter gatherings.
