Episode 253 - THE EIDER CENTRE, STYKKISHÓLMUR

Today, RÚV English Radio is keeping warm in Stykkishólmur.

At Breiðafjörður Bay there is the largest Eiderduck area in the world. The ducks' down is extraordinarily warm, soft, and luxurious, and is used to make bedding like pillows and duvets.

Darren met with Erla Friðriksdóttir at the Eider Centre (https://eider.is/aedarsetur-islands/) to learn more about this most gentle and sustainable of products.
