In "Rick Steves Iceland," travel guru Rick Steves introduces viewers to Iceland's majestic landscapes and hardy culture.
In Reykjavík, a world capital with a small-town feel, Rick tours the endearing sights, browses for sweaters, tastes fermented shark, learns Icelandic insights with a local, and then finally takes a dip in a thermal swimming pool.
The journey leads through a world of glaciers and fjords to the geothermal hotspot of Lake Måvatn, before concluding with a spin around scenic Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
Along the way, Rick visits a few slice-of-Icelandic-life museums, sod-roofed settlements, steaming volcanoes, and even goes whale watching.
