Cuisine:
Because of the unpolluted landscape, the food in Iceland is among the
freshest, most healthy in the world. Vegetables are grown in the most organic
of soils, and the seafood - always fresh from the morning catch - is astonishingly
delicious. Among the more renown dishes are Iceland lamb, which has a slightly
gamey taste, and skyr, a yoghurt-like desert.
There is, of course, no shortage
of international cuisine in Iceland. Reykjavik has over 200 restaurants,
and the dining scene is quite sophisticated.

Obviously, his plan didn’t quite work out, but even today Iceland is
still one of the least populated nations on Earth. The electric green landscape
is full of wide open spaces and geological wonders:
intricately carved mountains, belching mud pools, steaming hot springs,
blinding glaciers, heavenly waterfalls and hellish volcanoes. And because
of the island’s endless supply of geothermal energy, pollution is nonexistent.
Many
people have
heard of Iceland’s natural beauty, but one of the island’s best kept secrets
is its thriving cultural life. Reykjavik has become one of Europe’s hottest
night spots, and the art scene is alive an well. Testifying to the cultural
health is an explosion of cafes - that oh so cultural symbol - in downtown
Reykjavik. Day or night, winter or summer, they are brimming with both
brew and people - 99 percent of whom speak English.
