Iceland
January 2008
We flew Iceland Air back to the US and stopped off in Reykjavik along the way. Believe it or not, snow is actually rare in Reykjavik but we were there for it, and a lot of it! Iceland is an amazing place, the entire population is only 320,000 -- an entire country that's half the population of Wyoming. A pint of beer cost $12 (granted that was before the economic crash). 87% of Iceland's buildings are heated using geothermal resources. City busses run on hydrogen and anybody with a hydrogen car can fill up for free. Not to mention, It didn't get light until 9:30 a.m. Above is Strokkur geyser, Gullfoss waterfall, Dave up to his knees in snow at the Skálholt Cathedral, downtown Reykjavik and Dave soaking in the famous Blue Lagoon.
