Iceland might not be a country that leaps to mind when you think about the most consequential moments of history. But the country's location in the North Atlantic has made it a strategic bit of land in this area of the world for over 1000 years. In part one of a two part epic worthy of the Icelandic sagas, a tale of war and peace you might never have expected.

Iceland is one of the most beautiful and also one of the most inhospitable places to live on this planet. From brutal winter storms to glowing northern lights, wind that will rip the doors off cars to summer breezes that smell like the sea. The history of Iceland has been shaped by its relationship with the elements, and some of those stories are too good to miss - so in this episode we’re going to tell you about them. We’re also going to tell you how to survive here - what to pack, what to buy, what to absolutely avoid, and what to do if you get lost.

Icelanders can trace the culinary history of this nation back to its very first restaurant. The food here has come a long way since then. Today Iceland is full of excellent places to eat, including a Michilen Star, and we’re going to tell you about them. But we’re also going to explore some of this country’s unique food traditions - where they came from and how to try them - from sheep’s head to shark fin to reindeer.

In this episode we’re going to tell you about both, and everything in between. Discover how to spend your time enjoying Iceland the way the locals do, plus how to appreciate Iceland’s history - a fascinating mix of vikings and glaciers, volcanic eruptions and occupations.
