Wanderings: Iceland

Do they say Iceland is green and Greenland is icy? I think that's the story. I have been fascinated by Iceland for a long time, and I want to go there. Yesterday on Sirius Radio I heard the one of Iceland's Consular Generals talking about his country, and I started planning my trip. I've heard tell that it's simply beautiful, a bit expensive for tourists, and that the people are not only nice but they are also beautiful to look at. I think Iceland has something for everyone -- oceans, mountains, volcanic rocks, geothermal pools and spas. In fact, Iceland is an example to the world in use of alternative energy. I believe that geothermal power is the most common power source in the country, although to Iceland it's not really an alternative method. It's there, and they use it.

We have some great images of Iceland on Etsy, including an Icelandic wool sweater made by an Icelandic Etsy-seller. And don't miss this site: http://www.icelandtouristboard.com/news.php.

And the Iceland myth? I think it also looks pretty blue, don't you?
