Under Reykjavik is a Brief Encounter short story. It was printed in DWM 174.
Summary
Romana tries to add a new piece of equipment to the TARDIS. It shorts out, landing the TARDIS in Magnus Greel's bunker. They have a brief conversation, which covers time travel. As she departs he begins to seriously consider it as a method of escape.
Characters

- It is early in Greel's dictatorship.
- Someone of the 20th century might describe Greel as a 'psychotic deviant'.
