Backroads Bill Steer takes the backroads in Iceland
Bill Steer, founder of the Canadian Ecology Centre in Mattawa, ON, left his usual stomping grounds of northern Ontario to tour an even more remote landscape, that of Iceland.
Northern Ontario adventurer Bill Steer checks out what Iceland has to offer.
CBC Sudbury's outdoor columnist "Backroads" Bill Steer spent the last month of this year checking out the backroads of Iceland.
"The scenery here is fantastic," he told Markus Schwabe on CBC Radio's Morning North out of Sudbury.
Steer made the trek north to meet up with his daughter who is studying in Ireland.
Highlights of his trip include the penis museum, a visit with former Reykjavik mayor Jon Gnarr, Sven the Icelandic horse and the striking barren landscape of Iceland.
Steer said for much of his tour he saw "no trees, no snow, no ice, no people."
