Up-Helly-Aa.

Шетландские острова - это острова недалеко от Шотландии. В девятом веке викинги из Норвегии пришли в Шетландские острова. Они пришли в Великобританию на кораблях и забрали золото, животных и некоторых людей. Теперь, спустя 1000 лет, люди в Шетландских островах проводят фестиваль в честь викингов, который они называют "Up-Helly-Aa". Каждую зиму народ из Зерковича, столица Шетландских островов, создают модель викингов с головой дракона спереди. Затем, в ночь на Up-Helly-Aa в январе, Шетландцы одеваются в одежду викингов и переносят корабль через город к морю и сжигают его там. Фестиваль - это вечеринка для жителей Шетландских островов.
