Up Helly Aa Festival in Shetland

Participants dressed as Vikings eat breakfast as they prepare to participate in the annual Up Helly Aa festival on January 31, 2017 in Lerwick, Scotland. Up Helly Aa celebrates the influence of the Scandinavian Vikings in the Shetland Islands and culminates with up to 1,000 “guizers” (men in costume) throwing flaming torches into their Viking longboat and setting it alight later in the evening.
