You’ll find it’s the other way around my baw. Icelandic evolved from other Nordic languages, much like Faroese

So you can visit Iceland for the volcanoes, the midnight sun, the countless numbers of waterfalls, and the black sand beaches (as well as very nice people).


I’d love to check out Thingvellir

Thingvellir is a short drive east of the Capital. When I was there the first time there were no tourist signs, no paths, it was just there a crack in the earth's crust caused by the Mid Atlantic Ridge spread apart zone. And for centuries, people would ride their ponies to that place and make the laws that governed themselves.

Most roads weren't paved then either and the road south of the big glaciers didn't exist.

Awesome to contemplate that some volcanic eruptions wouldn't break through the ice, but the water coming out from under Vatnajokul would increase in volume..
