Iceland is raw and beautiful!

by XenoHumph - last update: Aug 22, 2003

Herdubreid volcano, Central Iceland
As of August 18, 2003, the Icelandic government has decided to resume whale hunting. I am very saddened by this decision, as I think whale populations are barely recovering from nearly complete extinction and are still too fragile to allow hunting them again so soon. The same comment goes for countries such as Japan, Norway and the US.

I really worked on the presentation..and it was before I knew about VT!!
Central Iceland desert.

General tips:

My favorite part of Iceland are the central deserts. Moonlike landscape and glaciers.

Fire and ice, water and rock,...

To access it, you need an all-terrain vehicule, and to camp or use the available huts.

General tips (2):

The coast is very green and wet, and of stunning beauty! There is a road going all around Iceland that any type of car, bus or bicycle (if you like to get wet) can take.

I found the food delicious in all icelandic restaurants, especially Reykjavik. Don't miss that lamb (they roam free on the
island) and all the seafood!

 Hi, this is a nice way to welcome their guests :-). I wondered though: are they easy to find, Imean like there are many of them and how many people can stay in one such hut?
