Contestants on The Amazing Race Season 17 Episode 5 travel to Kiruna, Kiruna Municipality, Lappland, Sweden and Narvik, Norw. The episode is titled "Tastes Like a Million Dollars," and the leg begins in Kiruna.
The teams must make their way to the Ice Hotel and pick up a pair of snowshoes and a map. Using the map, they will need to navigate to an ice fishing hole on the Kalix River. Once there, they will catch and cook two Arctic Char for a local fisherman to taste.
Next, the teams travel to the nearby Jukkasjärvi Church where they will see a traditional Sami festival. They will need to listen to the Sami storyteller carefully, as they will be quizzed on what they heard later.
After the storytelling, teams travel to a nearby bus station to catch a bus to Narvik, Norway. Once in Narvik, the teams will need to find a marked building and properly fold a traditional Norwegian flag. They will then need to deliver the flag to the Narvikfjellet ski resort and use clues to locate their next destination.
At the ski resort, teams have the option of participating in a Roadblock challenge. One team member must cross-country ski up a steep hill, find a specific marked downhill ski, and return it to their teammate at the bottom of the hill. The teammates must then ski down the marked course together, with their combined time being added to the final score.
Finally, the teams make their way to the Pit Stop, located at the Narvik War Museum. The last team to arrive may be eliminated from the race.
Overall, The Amazing Race Season 17 Episode 5 promises to be filled with physical challenges, cultural experiences, and high-stakes competition as the teams race through Lappland, Sweden and Narvik, Norway.
