Episode 261 - THE ERUPTION, AND KAYAKING AROUND ICELAND IN 1977

Today, RÚV English Radio looks again at the eruption, but also goes back to learn of an extraordinary journey around the country.

Darren starts today's show with the latest from the Reykjanes Peninsula - the eruption is nearly over, but the wait for restored hot water supplies is not.

He then talks to Nigel Foster, who kayaked around a very different Iceland in 1977! - https://nigelkayaks.com

His book, Iceland By Kayak, is finally (!) out, and is highly recommended - https://nigelkayaks.com/book/iceland-by-kayak-the-first-circumnavigation-of-iceland-by-kayak/
