Talking Travel: Iceland more volcano, less stripping

The World

In this episode of Talking Travel, we go to Iceland. The north Atlantic island nation has been ravaged by the recent global economic troubles, and it’s got a volcano, pictured, which is currently threatening one of the country’s most well-known glaciers. But we focus in on the Parliament’s recent decision to ban striptease clubs. Take a listen, and we’ll take you there with the help of Lonely Planet’s Robert Reid and Tom Hall.
