Rick Steves Iceland - Thursday, August 22 at 7 PM

This one-hour special begins in Reykjavík, with endearing sights and thermal pools, plus a side-trip to the Golden Circle's gorges, geysers, and waterfalls. Then, after fording rivers in a desolate valley and spotting puffins on volcano-shaped islands, we drive the 800-mile Ring Road - connecting glaciers, fjords, geothermal hotspots, sod-roofed settlements, and majestic Icelandic nature.
