Iceland is a modern, absolutely refreshing, and surprising place. When you're ready to go, let me know!
Please bookmark this site and let me know if there are any dead links. Takk og bless.

Iceland is now the most connected country in the world and the number of its websites has proliferated beyond management. Therefore, I am unlikely to add other links. Whatever you want can be found here, somewhere; just dig in a search engine!
