The main 'ring road' of Iceland is sometimes called Route One.
Here's a pronunciation guide image from Travelade.
The Ring road has a few names like Route:1, Highway 1 or Road number 1. The Icelanders call it Hringvegurinn which literally means the Ring road. It’s also called Þjóðvegurinn, the national road.

Back in 2015, the Icelandic band Sigur Ros (more on them to come in separate blog posts), took a trip around the road, which lasted 24 hours.
They filmed and live streamed the whole journey, which was accompanied by a piece of music which also lasted for 24 hours.
