That's the most memorable tourist map I received in 6 months in Europe. It's hanging on my wall right now. Iceland does a really great job with their tourism industry.

#22Lovely map. It could do with clearer borders though. At first, I thought that parts of the map just weren't loading, when in fact I had reached the edge of the drawing.

#23Funny, I've had this bookmarked for two years since I visited Iceland in 2013...still look at it from time to time. What an incredible experience, I fell in love with everything except the food. I think Anthony Bourdain said the only place in the world where he's absolutely hated the food was Reykjavik...I can't say the man is wrong. But everything else is wonderful.
Additionally, in the last few years though there's been a bit of foodie revolution; Kex hostel has some pretty solid dining at their in-house restaurant, and there are a number of 'American New' places sprouting up, both diner- and pub-style.
Anyway, I agree, Iceland was magical. The people were so, so great, the country was gorgeous and full of history, and (for my money) the food wasn't half bad.

#26I've no idea what this is doing on HN, but it's very nice, and I wish I'd seen it before I was there a few weeks ago. Beautiful city, far bigger and far more modern than I'd imagined, and full of lovely people.
