Having visited as a child, and passed through as an adult, I’ve also found it a fascinating place. The geology is something else. I remember being impressed by stories of blocks of peat being dug up from the geo-thermally heated ground and placed in living rooms as instant free heat.

I also appreciate the fact that they discovered America before Columbus but had the sense not to tell anyone about their villages in Newfoundland.

Why don’t you start learning the language? You never know….
