Through Greenland - With Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Season 1 Full Episode Guide
If the Greenland ice sheet disappears, Denmark is largely gone too. That is roughly the message from climate expert Jo Scheuer, whom Nikolaj meets on the last part of the journey. The actor moves into the family's own summer house in South Greenland, where the climate is milder and where agriculture tries to take advantage of the extra heat that climate change brings. It can have great significance for the country's future and so can the Greenlandic underground. Nikolaj gets a rare permit to enter the country's only gold mine and soon he feels the gold fever on his own body!

What does a glacier really weigh if you get it on your head? Nikolaj has traveled to the desolate and isolated east coast of Greenland to experience the magnificent nature. A chance meeting with the Italian guide Nicco leads him on a unique expedition into a spectacular cave under the ice cap. A unique nature experience, but definitely not for the faint of heart. And as if that wasn't enough, there are polar bears in the area!
AD
A trip in the Greenlandic time machine. Nikolaj has now been joined by his wife Nukâka and together they travel to Uummannaq. This is where Nukâka grew up and although Nikolaj has heard tons of stories from the small and very beautiful Greenlandic town, he has never been here. Now Nukâka and her little brother Peter, Nikolaj take a trip through the country of their childhood and bring to life their traditional Greenlandic upbringing with sled dogs, snowmobiles, fishing and lots of robber stories.

How cold can a toilet seat get? Nikolaj finds out that and much more when, together with his traveling companion and brother-in-law Peter, he sets out on a magnificent expedition to spend the night on the ice sheet and experience climate change up close. And these are not the only trials the actor has to model for. Nikolaj goes musky hunting, and it must turn out to be a lot harder than expected.
AD
What did my father really do - and who was he? It is no coincidence that Nikolaj's great adventure begins in the northernmost part of Greenland. It was here, at the American military base in Thule, that Nikolaj's father worked in the 1980s. And it was his stories about polar bears, polar nights, the Cold War and ballistic missiles that really set the imagination and daydreams in motion for the young boy at home in the village of Tybjerg on Zealand
