I got to do 24 hours in Reykjavik for a layover in early winter. Absolutely wonderful city

Actually my dream trip is the 10 day lap of Iceland, so yes, 1000% I will. Also, saved for future reference 😊

This restaurant is single handedly responsible for completely 180ing my attitudes on seafood. It broke me lmfao. I'm so thankful I was brought there.

I did my Master's on a site in the region a decade ago. Suppose it depends on what you want.

Haha that's dangerous news - I am already a passionate seafood fan but alas, live in the dry lands.

Another comment you said you did your Master's there. Can I ask if you enjoyed the experience? I've wondered about doing a European masters but Iceland had never crossed my mind until today

Do it. Dm me. I'm currently in an airport but will yap when I can. I actually did the program in Scotland but my study site was in Iceland. I think I did apply to Iceland though. I took Icelandic in college. :] It's a cool place.

I live in Ísafjörður, this is the only place where I will eat fish by choice, well, this place and if me or my dad cook it.

We did a week and did day tours. Not as adventurous but still a blast. Definitely want to go again and drive the golden circle!

They had this outside the last time I went.

I've played enough Dark Souls to know the guy in the armour is about to get his shit fucked up.

Great views up at the top of the tower

I was lucky(?) enough that the volcano was going off whilst I was up there a couple of years ago and got some great pictures

Umm, wow!

Feel like this comment deserves more attention.

Would you share any of those photos?

Incredible.

That is hauntingly beautiful... and an incredible shot! Thank you so much for sharing!

I was about to say! I've been there (only on the outside though, I can't enter churches without spontaneous combustion)

Very recognizable and everyone who has ever been to Iceland has probably seen it.

...and it's gorgeous.

The pancake truck is parked outside daily, but never open when I was there. This is religion inaccessible to the people even in viking paradise.

For a second, I thought you were being smug or something? And then the whoosh dawned on me... brava

Edit: I guess I was behind the curve on that one?

Apostates! May all unbelievers of the Holy Stats be stricken with plague? (Unfortunately Americans might do just that🥴🙃😭)

The Church of Alpha the Utterly Indifferent, from "The Songs of Distant Earth" by Arthur C. Clarke?
