Highlights of this episode include plunging into the wild contradictions and quiet brilliance of Iceland - a country where lava flows under glaciers, elves get legal protection, and people bathe together in silence. We’ll explore how one of Ea rth’s youngest land masses became a cultural powerhouse, from sagas written in sheep-hide huts to renewable energy powering a book-obsessed nation. You’ll learn why June 17 matters more than just summer solstice vibes, how Iceland runs on geothermal calm, and what it says about a country when even McDonald’s couldn’t hack it. Packed with mythology, mind-blowing facts, and enough dry humor to impress a stoic Viking, this episode will leave you chilled out, fired up, and maybe halfway to moving there.
