Episode 969 - THE CAPITAL AREA: MOSFELLSBÆR

Today on RÚV English Radio, the first in a special new series looking at the parts of the capital area which aren't Reykjavík.

Iceland's "capital area" is so much more than just the capital city of Reykjavík. There are five other municipalities, or towns, which help form the larger urban area but all have their own histories, stories, and identities.

This week we will look at them all. Today, Darren starts in Mosfellsbær, to the north of Reykjavík, in the company of historian and author Bjarki Bjarnason.

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