Summary

Richard discovers if a jeep can drive across a lake in Iceland.

Our Take

A goofy, satisfying hour that leans into the show’s love of ridiculous stunts, and the Iceland setting gives it some genuinely beautiful scenery. The water-crossing experiment is equal parts dumb and fun, which is basically the point of Top Gear. The middle stretch drags a bit when the challenges repeat themselves, but the ending pays off. Worth it if you’re here for spectacle over substance.
