Story
Route Markers
The race begins at Washington Square Park in New York City, New York, United States of America.
Teams must fly to Reykjavík, Iceland. Upon arrival, teams must drive themselves to the Geitárgljùfur waterfall to find their next clue.
One member of each team will traverse over the Geitárgljùfur river and retrieve the flag of Iceland. Their partner will then pull them back to the start, and then they can exchange their flag for their next clue.
Teams must drive to Esjumelur to find their next clue.
The team member assigned to perform this Roadblock would have to ride along in an off-road buggy, teams will need to ride around a riverbed as many times as they need to in order to spell out Ingólfstorg, a square in Reykjavík. Once they've spelled the square correctly, using a set of fake ice blocks, they will receive their next clue. The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:
Teams must drive to Ingólfstorg and find Katrín Davíðsdóttir in a strongman expo who will ask them two questions pertaining to two tonics: "What do Icelanders call the "black death"? and "What is Þorskalýsi?". Once they've answers both of her questions correctly, they will receive a shot of both tonics and their next clue.
Teams travel on foot to Reykjavíkürtjorn to check in. For checking in first, Kristi & Jen won a trip for two to Santorini, Greece, provided by Travelocity
