Despite the erstwhile reputation as
clandestine and isolated, Iceland has
become a centerpiece destination
in travel rather than a layover for the
British Isles and mainland Europe. The
formidable landscape, once fabled
by Jules Verne, a polestar reserved
and revered by adventurers and
geologists alike, remains rugged. The
Hadean landscape, vivisected by North
American and European tectonics and
fronted by the Arctic Circle, gives way
to spectacular visages of glaciated
volcanic mountain ranges accessible by
those who refuse to be daunted. Iceland
is not simply an asperous playland for
the bold, but also a hotbed for youth
culture, music and eccentricities.
