66° NORTH
So you want to shop at the top. It doesn’t get any higher than 66°
North, the store that carries all sorts of outdoorwear.
With four main stores in Iceland, plus products distributed around
the country, you can’t miss 66° North, which sells a full range of hats,
fleece, jackets, socks, rain gear and gloves – the clothes one needs
when stepping outside.
A new, fashionable outdoorwear summer collection has just hit the
stores, including a great variety of fleece sweaters. In fact, if you
want fleece, 66° North is the place. You can even find baby fleece
wear.
Since 1926, the company has produced all sorts of clothing used in
extreme conditions. And if you’re just in transit, 66° North is avail-
able at Keflavík International Airport.
ICELANDIC HANDICRAFTS
Arts and crafts centre Fjörugull produces and markets handicrafts
made from Icelandic nature, using materials like sand and rocks from
the country’s rugged coastline.
Founded in 1994 in the West Fjords, Fjörugull’s best-selling item is a
salt and pepper grinder made from sand, unique in its form and tex-
ture.
Like all of Fjörugull’s objects, the salt and pepper couple are individ-
ually hand-crafted and no pair is alike.
Fjörugull’s handicrafts are available at Icemart, located at Keflavík
International Airport. www.fjorugull.com
A UNIQUE TASTE
Icelandic chocolate has a soft, unique and delicious taste. Icelandic
milk is the secret ingredient which gives the chocolate its particularly
luscious taste. Chocolate lovers from abroad will love trying out
Iceland’s different chocolate varieties such as Rommý, Buffaló,
Krembraud and Karamelludýr, as well as Móna’s ‘konfekt’, a premium
selection of boxed chocolates.
The Móna chocolate factory only produces the finest quality choco-
late, packed in boxes decorated with artwork from some of Iceland’s
best-known artists.
Rommý, a chocolate with rum filling, is a product which has been on
the market for nearly 40 years and still enjoys popularity. Krembraud
is a chocolate-covered wafer biscuit with a marshmallow filling.
These products can be found at all major shops in Iceland, including
Icemart and the Duty Free Shop at Keflavík International Airport.
