The name Iceland conjures up many images: ice, for one, and a climate characterized by the country’s proximity to the Arctic circle; volcanic activity, which stole headlines and grounded planes when the Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted in 2010; and a long list of amazing natural phenomena including glaciers, geysers, geothermal pools, and sometimes the Northern Lights. When we imagine Iceland, perhaps we see the long days of Summer sunlight and Winter darkness that typify such Northern countries. Perhaps we experience the quiet that must overwhelm the geographically remote, least dense nation in Europe. Or, perhaps, we hear the often eerie music produced by renowned Icelandic artists such as Bjork and Sigur Ros.
