Our Icelandic correspondent Joakim is fresh out of the chilly Atlantic and dipping into his volcanic jacuzzi. With a warm cup of fermented shark urine in hand, he helps us understand this strange and remote island. We dive into the unique culture and lifestyle of Iceland, discussing everything from the country's rich history and traditions to its modern-day quirks, such as the absence of McDonald's and the popularity of fermented foods. The conversation also touches on geothermal energy, Iceland's impressive sports achievements and the nation's peaceful outlook on life.
