How could you spell 'Watefall' 5 times in a row ?
Freshness518
Messed up on the first one, copy/paste it 4 times. Did it at 3am and wasn't really checking my work.

Freshness518
We did pretty much everything on the southern half of the country ranging from Hofn on the east coast to Snæfellsjökull in the west.

Had sex on top of Seljalandsfoss and rinsed my balls so that the w mist from my nasty genitals would hit tourists going behind the waterfall

"and Bam's such a good friend, he wanted me to put JELLY on you. THERE WAS SHIT ON MY LIPS"
Gaehhn
When my dad asked my mom where she wanted to go on their honeymoon she accidentally said Iceland instead of Ireland and so they went there.
Gaehhn
Back in 1991 there were so few tourists that they could camp at the Gullfoss waterfall. The bus that thook them there almost forgot them
Gaehhn
there the next day because there were no new tourists who wanted to go there on a rainy day.
JohnMagneTrane
Being used to the Norwegian climate, the first Icelanders chopped down the forest, and thought it'd regrow. Lava soil don't do it like that.
IWouldHaveBeenATrainDriverHadINotGoneOffTheRails
For real? Wow
JohnMagneTrane
Think I read that in a Jared Diamond book. Hope some Icelanders can confirm.
IWouldHaveBeenATrainDriverHadINotGoneOffTheRails
Yea that'd be cool if they did. It always astounds me how short-sighted settlers can be in new land. Reminds me what happened when England >
IWouldHaveBeenATrainDriverHadINotGoneOffTheRails
First settled in Australia. You see, native Australians habitually cleared bushland by back-burning hectares of it. The English let it grow>
IWouldHaveBeenATrainDriverHadINotGoneOffTheRails
Thick and therefore increased the fire danger, around their settlements

My friend knows the guy who lives in #1

Wikipedia: "The only building is a hunting lodge built by the Elliðaey Hunting Association. The permanent population of the island is zero."
IamIsPotato
Well then he lied :(
mbbqqw
And his friend knows all of them. Amazing!
LlamaLingo
What is there to hunt on the island?
Gaehhn
Puffins. A fuckton of Puffins.
JollyJokzr
The island is around 600m long and you have line of sight to almost all of it from the lodge. I don't think anything will live long.

Thanks. How does one even pronounce that weird icelandic letter?
JollyJokzr
Does Dverghamrar mean Dwarf Hammers?
hrokur
Yes
ellert0
Hamrar can be the plural of hammer but it can also just mean cliffs. In this context it means cliffs so it's "Dwarf-cliffs."
TheBreadlord
..so possibly a pun?
ellert0
Maybe, they do look like tiny cliffs. Icelandic stories do include some people who believed in dwarves living in strange rocks though.
hrokur
actually they believed in elves not dwarfs
ellert0
There are both in old Icelandic stories, alongside ogres, giants and the like.
