20 kms Away From An Active Volcano
Left town in our little Toyota Yaris, and headed east. Took a lessor road that skirted Lake Ţingvallavatn for the view, and ended up in Ţingvellir which is an ancient and fascinating place. Trivia fact #1 for the day - Iceland has the longest continuous parliamentary system dating back over 1000 years. It started in 930AD in Ţingvellir. It's a cold …
Porsmork

For example, we had intended to stock up on rations in Heimaey for the ...
Visiting Vestmannaeyjar
... feed upon have already grown too big to be their prey. Climate change? Our source was hesitant to say, citing instead historical fluctuations in the population. Before learning this, we had planned on trying the traditional dish of smoked puffin, but hunters have been traveling to northern Iceland where the population is more abundant and bringing birds back to stock the local restaurants with. Sounded a little eco-sketchy to us, and so we ...
