Iceland is the reason we're not allowed place names in Scrabble.

The Iceland portion was my favorite part of Ben Stiller's Walter Mitty movie.

I remember Surtsey being born while I was in high school. "A new island emerges from the sea!" and all that.

Iceland is a rebellious Danish province! Naughty boys!
XenuWorldOrder
You gave us Björk. Of course you get an upvote.

RockImgr
One of the best of places I've ever been. It's a freak show of nature
ThatCuriousKat
I get to go there in a week! I'm so excited!
Captainplanetmotherfucker
This is the country with 100% internet access, right?
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
nahh only like 97% IIRC
TheLastOfSeven
I'm gonna upvote just because I can't figure out how to say most of your city names
YouAreLovedAndAppreciated
TallAndGeeky
+1 for Iceland and your delicious, delicious skyr.
Efreeti
Fuck yes. Ever had green tea-flavoured skyr?
TallAndGeeky
Mostly I buy plain or vanilla and mix in different jams I like.
GlacialFlour
Skyr FTW.

Visited Iceland last year and moving out there this year. Fell in love with it!

Being a Glacier Tour Guide at Skaftafell, south of Vatnajokull glacier - if you plan to visit hit me up I can show you round! :)
SayHelloToMyLittleWaitWhatDidYouSay
I loved the Vatnajokull glacier. It is an amazing place. Also the Jökulsárlón lagoon and diamond beach are incredible.

I can't wait to go!!! Iceland is my dream vacation destination!
DancingIMoo
I went there last year. Amazing country. Have fun!
mygungoesblyatblyat
Wait. Isn't island that one country without an army? Instead they have a force consisting of armed penguins right?
bothrium
Yes.
shootan
They have a coast guard.
SarahButNotImgurSarah
The place names in Iceland just look like someone smashed their face on the keyboard and clicked enter
Hypercube9
How do you click enter?
SarahButNotImgurSarah
By clicking the enter key
Hypercube9
But you use the mouse to 'click' things and Enter is on the keyboard. Did you mean 'press'?

Been in Iceland for the past week, thinking of uploading an Icelandic dump when I get home tomorrow

Holey moley, that's beautiful. Thank you!

What do I have to do, as a Canadian, to come live there for a while and sustain myself? I don't speak the darned tongue!
GlacialFlour
How old are you / education level / how long do you want to stay?
ematic
Late 20s, have a Bachelor's degree, although currently working as an illustrator (also good with trades). Want to stay a few months?
rugmiehtnioj
I've visited. Most speak English better than a lot of Americans
Visiblur
That's actually true for most of the nordics, we speak brilliant English
GlacialFlour
Not entirely true in many villages, but bigger towns yes.

Best place to visit? I want to go to Reykjavik but don't know if there's anywhere else I should go to as well
schrodingerscatfood
I did a two week guided travel tour; see some of the interesting sites from all over the country.
SayHelloToMyLittleWaitWhatDidYouSay
Just google it. I spent 10 days with wife driving around the Iceland in early November. Best trip so far. We prefer self guided to tours.
GlacialFlour
Get away from the south and west. It's overrun. I live in the Westfjords.
OldMango
i always reccomend the golden circle (google it), most famus and cool looking attractions. many more, but they require a longer trip.
mygungoesblyatblyat
Come to Stockholm
991cookie
That's also on my list. I want to do city breaks but not the traditional ones
991cookie
Also on my list. I want city breaks, but not the traditional ones like Paris or Rome
SayHelloToMyLittleWaitWhatDidYouSay
Reykjavik is not worth it. Too expensive and nothing to see. Every single other spot in Iceland is Amazing. Rent a car and drive.
shootan
Hey, it's nice to see it at least once! Hallgrímskirkja is beautiful on the outside and on the inside.
SayHelloToMyLittleWaitWhatDidYouSay
I was very disappointed with that church. If you have the time of course. But after visiting so many natural wonders I would happily skip it
shootan
The organ is beautiful, the stained glass, the design of it. I guess it's just a personal preference of mine since I am a citizen.
shootan
As well as seeing The Pearl Restaurant. AND FINALLY, the most important thing: Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur.
CKOD
Visit CCP headquarters

Iceland is green and Greenland is icy
pataglop
Can't explain that!
Katimakittykat
Greenland is pretty green in the summertime, Iceland has glacier and ice.
kimadactyl
One of the earliest examples of marketing (really)
ActualProofIHadSexWithLilyEvans
1) When I was in the US and would tell people I was from Iceland that's the response I got 99% of the time. Apparently that's the only thing
shootan
I heard that every single time I mentioned it too. It got annoying until I just ignored it.
ActualProofIHadSexWithLilyEvans
2) most Americans "know" about Iceland and I got so tired of hearing it I started explaining that *technically* Greenland should be Iceland
ActualProofIHadSexWithLilyEvans
3) but Ireland should really be Greenland and therefore Iceland would be Ireland. People didn't seem to think that was as clever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
acme64
As an american, I don't get it

Ireland is known as "The Emerald Isle" because of how green it is, it's the colour of St Patrick (but not the official colour of Eire), etc
ClassicSwanson
I went to Iceland for the first time last year. I will always upvote that brilliant country.
Peelie14
Hey! Me three! Easily the best vacation ever!!!

You should go during the last week of december. The Icelanders know how to party.

Oh Greenland is a barren land, a land that bears no green. Where there's ice and snow and the whalefishes blow.
EllenCherryCharles
Greenland is ice and Iceland is green.
ImAFoxButNotReally
Yeah, what's with that?
missastromccluskey

Iceland is full of fire and I prefer Eire.

I always heard Greenland is ice, and Iceland is green. Iceland sure is beautiful and I love the people overthrowing the banks, etc.
Renneheart
Although Eire is pronounced air-a, so not much of a rhyme
GingerSwan
yeah, air-a not ire

I sit corrected. Ty.

True story, bought a 2k ticket and then couldn't find my passport. I'm an idiot and visiting the island is my dream.
gnorr
My tickets to Iceland and back were $100.
themilkmancometh
£50 return ticket from Manchester UK to Reykjavik. Easy jet is balling
EarthTourist
srsly? Like, you wasted teh ticket? that's really sad.
shootan
The only reason you should visit the country is for Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur. If you've never had an Icelandic hotdog you haven't lived.
Achgelis
Bought a ticket to join my friends for a trip to London. Passport was expired and I had watch them go without me. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
acme64
There's a procedure to get a passport renewed in A hurry
Achgelis
Yup. But too many asshats abused that little loophole so they closed it.
Earan
I'm a little surprised you need a passport between London and Iceland
Achgelis
The UK is not a part of the Schengen Agreement (an open borders initiative) so passports are required when travelling there.
OptainCapvious
Got me a nice passport for a stamp - wasn't even asked to show it.

Similar airfare for me with wow air out of Toronto - did a 7 day driving tour around the country and visited 5 different thermal baths.

Thanks, now I'm even more of an idiot and you had a better time than I did. :(

You should check out Wow airlines. You can get to Iceland for 100$ :)

Far out, I can fly to the other side of the world for $100? Is that AUD?
mollyisthenameofmybicycle
from the US or Europe? I'd love to visit sometime, but am currently in CH
cactusmeagain
Maybe WizzAir from Europe?
mollyisthenameofmybicycle
thanks!
DavidBowiesBulgeInLabyrinth
Yep :) hands down the most miserable flying experience I've ever had but fuck it we got there!
LatoyaTheExploya
Why was it miserable?
DavidBowiesBulgeInLabyrinth
6 hour flight with no food/water. You had to pay $7 for water. Also Keflavik airport is a living hell if you have a overnight layover.
Estbgti
You're flying cattle class
DavidBowiesBulgeInLabyrinth
Its the only airport in the world youre not allowed to sleep in. Security would literally kick us awake. The most exhausted ive ever been.
Achgelis
Sorry to hear that. Did you check out the hotel next door?
