Amazing Iceland!

by Jim_Eliason - last update: Oct 1, 2006

Iceland is truly a must see place. Although inhabited for over 1,200 years its one of the world true wilderness's. It made up of dramatic volcanic features covered by tundra and glaciers. The water in the rivers and lake is bluer and more clear than any water you have every seen due to the lack of pollutants.

The climate is also not nearly as bad as one would suppose of a country just south of the artic circle. Due to the gulfstream, its a temperate, marine (rainy) climate. Think Seatlle in the winter and that about what it is.

 Hi Jim! I loved your Iceland pictures. They made me miss being there! We went in July and fell in love with the amazing scenery. If you get a chance, let me know what you think of my Iceland pages. :-)

 First, thanks for visiting my Mkuze page Jim. Enjoyed this page on Iceland, esp. the "blue lagoon" hot springs and the fishing village of Grindavik.

 I know exactly what you were thinking when you were at Gullfoss and Valahnjukur, I'm feeling it right now! Wow.
