Iceland
Driving around the island early June 2010
and again, in a 4WD, in middle of August 2013.
| The people – descendants of Viking families and Celtic slaves |
| Food – delicious dishes and stuff you might not be willing to eat |
| Roads – from nice paved roads to very rough tracks for 4WD only |
| Vegetation – or – sadly – the lack thereof |
| Volcanism – the everlasting birth of Iceland |
| Hot springs – outdoor baths, house heating, and geysers |
| Waterfalls – tourist attractions and sources of electricity and controversies |
| Churches – built by a people that has been through much hardship |
| Reykjavik – the capital of Iceland – a city that feels both small and big |
| Akureyri – "The capital of North Iceland" and a botanic garden near the Arctic Circle |
| Husavik – "The whale watching capital of Iceland" |
| Seyðisfjörður – built from Norwegian timber by immigrated Norwegian fishermen |
| Höfn – a small town called "Harbour" and the Hornafjörður Moon |
| Mývatn – a very special lake in North Iceland and its surrounds |
| Krafla – an active volcanic area and a geothermal power station |
| Hljóðaklettar – cliffs returning confusing echoes |
| Öxnadalur – birthplace of Jónas Hallgrímsson, celebrated language guy |
| Vík í Mýrdal – between the volcano and the deep blue sea |
| West of Vík – basalt columns and cliffs with "doors" |
| Jökulsárlón – a lagoon with a lot of large size chunks of glacier ice |
| Lakagígar – and the deadliest volcanic events of the second millennium |
