In Iceland, there are no shortage of stories about the ways in which this island nation has changed the world. And there’s more truth to those claims than you might think.  In part two, Iceland takes on the British Royal Navy, plays a key role in de-escalating the Cold War, and finds its way as the nature of war changes in the 21st century.

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.
