Up
Helly Aa - Boat Burning & Guiser Jarl
After
singing the "Galley Song" the Guizer Jarl calls for three
cheers for the galley boys, the torch boys and Up Helly aa, a bugle
sounds and 1,000 burning torches are soon hurled into the galley,
which soon is a mass of flames. Everyone sings the "Norseman's
Home" and as the flames die down the squads depart for the halls
to do their acts. The rounds of the 13 halls by the 49 squads will
take until 08:00 the next day.
