The architecture, the food, and the rich literary heritage all make Iceland a very civilized place.
If sitting half-naked in front of a fan and sucking on a popsicle just isn’t doing it for you, think Iceland. Yes, that raw, windblown, mossy rock is definitely a place to get comfortable.
And it only makes sense that luxurious hot pots, warm beaches, Jacuzzis and saunas would prevail in a place where a 15 degree centigrade day is considered balmy.
When it comes to food, what Iceland lacks in variety it makes up for in abundance. Comfort here means comfort food. Icelandic lamb is used in a bottomless bowl of stew that will soothe any rough edge of the day.
Like ancient Australian Aboriginal songlines, stories reflecting attitudes are attributed to unique landforms. Such inspired legends have left tracks all over the country.
