We are so excited to announce that Michael Arkless’ Talk, which was previously canceled due to the weather, has a new date!

The Icelandic Ring Road, also known as Route #1, is a national road that circles the country, connecting major towns and cities. It is just over 1,300 km long, making it the longest in Iceland.
