Another interesting fact about Iceland. From what I understand, individuals can own water rights up to 999 feet underground. At 1000 feet, the state owns it. Because of this, the people in our little hamlet (800 people) have access to geothermal water at a fraction of the cost. Just 40 years ago, there were hardly any people in the village. Today, there is a community center, neighborhoods and a golf course in addition to a mushroom greenhouse, strawberry farm and other garden goodies.
This is me climbing along side a waterfall - There are 10,000 waterfalls in Iceland!
