Inspired by Iceland

Iceland: Its a place where there is rock, and lots of it. A place where the snows covers the little liveable land that is left, and leaves it buried for much of the year. Its a place where the water is always hot, really hot!

But, it is also a place where people, like women with names like Sigridur, when they see something worth speaking up for and protecting, they do. Its a place where the annual Althingi took place for its leaders from the four corners of the island to gather in the field to resolve matters and dispense justice. It is a place of farmers and fishermen/women who struggle every day not only to survive, but thrive!

Icelandic culture is one of community, independence and pride.
