Scottish Vikings take part in annual fire festival for Up Helly Aa

Up Helly Aa is the biggest fire festival in Europe which is held on the last Tuesday in January in Shetland Islands, Scotland. The members of a group of Vikings also called (Jarl Squad) throw their torches to set fire to their Viking galley long ship during the Up Helly Aa festival. The gathering celebrates the influence of the Scandinavian Vikings in the Shetland Islands and culminates with up to 1,000 men with traditional guizers.
