30 ICELAND REVIEW
Forever and ever, the endless day. From May to August,
Iceland is blessed with nearly 24 hours of daylight. It is another
world from the mid-winter darkness of December, up here in
the northern hemisphere. The summer light and the landscape
never ceases to surprise, taking on different guises with the
shifting rain and light; rocks metamorphose into trolls and moss-
mantled mountains stand on their heads in an unnamed lake.
Nature is vulnerable; it takes decades to heal the wounds that
mankind deals out to Mother Earth. Yet, with respect and care,
we should be able to enjoy the light and the landscape in
years to come. Hopefully, forever and ever.
