Today, RÚV English Radio is in Egilsstaðir.
Reindeer are found across - and only found in - much of Iceland's eastern quarter.
Darren went to The University of Iceland Research Centre in East Iceland to speak to Unnur Birna Karlsdóttir, about a research project taking place into the history of these beautiful but timid creatures, and finds that their relationship with humans in Iceland, is complex.
The project looks at reindeer themselves as well as Icelandic attitudes toward reindeer. It seeks to tell the stories of the reindeer's bitter struggle for survival in their habitat, the thrill of the hunt, and the varying success of experiments with reindeer farming.
RÚV English Radio is the new name for the RÚV English Podcast!
We cover everything Icelandic - news, culture, music, language, events, people, places and more.
You can find our daily English show in all the same places, including Spotify and Apple and all podcast outlets - if you are a subscriber, nothing will change, the programme will pop up as it always has, just with a new name and image.
Find the show right here on the RÚV Player exactly as before - all the new shows will appear in the usual way at https://www.ruv.is/utvarp/spila/ruv-english-radio/34448 - and that is also where you will find the archive of all previous podcast episodes.
