Keflavík airport and Skógarhlíð 10, 105 Reykjavík
"The immediate impact on foreign visitors will prob-
ably be through air traffic, which will be paralysed
as baggage handlers, drivers of oil trucks and retail
workers at the Keflavik airport will go on strike."
If Icelanders are so happy and prosperous, why
are we in the midst of one of the bitterest labour
disputes in years?
"For years now, while driving the four-and-a-half-to-
six-hour road trip between the north and south, many
northerners have made it common practice to eat one
hot dog at each of the seven pit stops between Akureyri
and Reykjavík, and they didn’t tell us about it because
they think we’re just a bunch of city slicker suckers."
We attempted the Akureyri Seven…
"One guy even told us that he came out of the closet
after listening to the song because it gave him the
strength to tell his parents."
If Iceland doesn't win Eurovision this time, at
least our entry will have had a positive effect on
someone's life.
"It feels surreal, after such a short flight, to step out
onto the side of a volcano. The small geothermal
hotspot we find has melted the surrounding snow
into graceful, undulating natural sculptures, and the
ground is tinted umber and green from the minerals
seeping into the soil."
We checked out some of our favourite spots via
helicopter.
