In this episode, we visit the Arctic Coast Village of Ólafsfjörður, surrounded by steep mountains and awful transportation history, currently the home of 800 people, around 60km, south of the Arctic Circle. This is not the easiest place to live in today and the locals are still fighting for road improvements, but this is also a village with fun history, and bright future in the tourist business.
