LOL.... You can probably guess who often I get asked that....

Heres the answer as best as I can give it..... Vikings discovered Iceland way back 840 I think, and they thought they found paradise, so to keep it to themselves (they were afterall criminals banished from Norway) they called it Iceland.... Greenland was named to attract people.....

These are old tales, nobody really knows if they are true, but they make some sense :smile:

Iceland does have winters, and believe me we see snow, but the average temparature in Iceland during the winters is not very cold at all, around 0c or 33 F .... Considering just how far north the island is, thats some impressive temps....

Cheers,

Thor....

PS  Bivalve, Bjork doesn't spend much time in Iceland anymore, she lives mostly in the UK to avoid Iceland's nasty taxes, and of course the trolls; she's deathly afraid of them.... Oh yeah did I mention the Gnomes!

iceland, the worlds oldest surviving democracy (the "allthing" was a representative parliment...)
eric redhand & his boys lured wandervolk to the "greenland" & then burned their boats to make sure the settlers stayed settled... & with finn bjorni herjolfsson some boats sailed west to the "vine land", don't be mixin' it up with the skraelings...

They sure are..... That photographer is quite talented, even though its pretty easy to take nice photos, he really knows how to capture amazing pics....

I can't tell you how homesick I am looking at that Cafe picture, damn it, I miss my Icelandic women :smile:

Anyone look at more pictures on his website?

Cheers,

Thor....
