Episode 926 - ROUTE 870: MELRAKKASLÉTTA

Today, RÚV English Radio is on Iceland's remote north-east edge.

Route 870 over the remote Melrakkaslétta peninsula is a great drive along a gravel road, running along Iceland’s Arctic Coast Way. It forms the old road connection between Kópasker and Raufarhöfn.

Darren took a (slow) spin over the bumpy but scenic road.

RÚV English Radio is heard around the world and in Iceland, celebrating Icelandic culture, art, music, language, and much more.
