ICELAND a
A T L A N T I C A 49
Take your own two-step back in time and head to one of Iceland’s round-ups, or réttir,
this September, when the country’s horses and sheep that have been cavorting freely in
the mountains all summer are collected and separated according to farmer. The system
has changed little since Iceland’s settlement, and there’s usually a fair amount of booze
being passed around. The complete list of dates and locations can be found on the
website of the Farmers Association of Iceland, bondi.is.
