Is fascinating. Wish I’d spent four weeks here, instead of doing some of the other countries in Europe. The geology is amazing - the country is growing by 2cm every year, as it’s a centre of the American and European tectonic plates.
Been on the Golden Circle Tour - seen a geothermal power station; Gulfloss waterfall, a glacial river; the seat of the old Icelandic parliament; a church, that was something to do with an old Icelandic bishop; a crater from a volcano that blew 6000 years ago - Björk did a concert on the lake at the bottom of it a couple of years ago.
Ah yes, whilst on the subject of Björk (pronounced byerk, not byork) - I found out that my favourite track of hers - Venus as a Boy - is actually about cunnilingus. Fascinating what you can find out by visiting a bookshop. I bought a book by one of Iceland’s most famous writers and shall be devouring it soon.

On an unrelated note… I don’t like Björk. Only cos she looks like my sister.
