WatchViking Biking
Rob Lilley decided to ride his bike around Iceland in October. Nobody else ever rides their bike around Iceland in October. Hope there will be a part two soon.

nekemabalatonariviera asked: Góðan dag! My dream is to get to Iceland one day. I thought about getting Icelandic pen-pals, I registered on a site, but I haven't got any replies. Do you know how to make connections from this way? Or is there a site where you can get to know Icelandic people, talk to them, making friends?

kropotkinskaya-station asked: I see a lot of people telling you they are planning on moving to Iceland, but none say how they are planning to get Visa's, which is extremely difficult. Do you think they even know it's nearly impossible to gain residency in EU countries?

lifeandprimes asked: I really want to move to Iceland after I graduate but I was researching a bit and saw that you are right on top of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and it freaked me out a little. Is it dangerous? Will I die if I move to Iceland?

Iceland - Lonely Planet Travel Location of the...
It seems that Lonely Planet readers have been following my blog. Lonely Planet just announced that it’s readers had voted Iceland the top travel destination in the world for 2012. Coincidentally, they also voted Reykjavík the top city destination. This isn’t the first time Lonely Planet takes notice of us. Last year Iceland was high on a list of top travel locations for 2010.

Easy Jet to fly to Iceland
Rumor has it that Easy Jet is planning on flying to Iceland next summer, at least from London. For the past few years, the only airlines flying regularly to Iceland have been Icelandair and Iceland Express. Yesterday I mentioned WOW Air, a new Icelandic airline about to begin operations. All this new competition should mean that you can fly cheaper to Iceland.

Every Single Word in Icelandic: Útlenska →
Útlenska = Outlandish
everysinglewordinicelandic:
I have noticed that many humans visit me in flying machines to look at my water-falls and my mountains, and maybe climb all over me, and make moving pictures with me in them to put on their Vimeos.
But other humans are not like this.
They “just do not give one shit”* about waterfalls…

ladivinavita-deactivated2012082 asked: I love your country. It is immensely beautiful! I went very briefly this past summer but I enjoyed every second of that stay that it felt like weeks to me. I would love to live there. But I'm not going to lie I would miss my tortillas and frijoles very much.

camerasandcoffee asked: Hey there! Big fan of your tumblr. I've spent a lot of time in Iceland, my favorite place on earth. I actually though wanted to ask you what customizations you've made to your theme (if any) to get such a cool photo interface. I would LOVE to be able to do this on my tumblr and not have to switch to another blogging platform! Thanks so much for your advice! Best, -Pablo

WatchIceland features in commercial for flickr sessions. Pretty cool social media ad for a feature I don’t really think will be a hit. However since it involves my favorite things, Iceland and glaciers, I’ll post it here. A lot of the pictures are from a trip on the Svínafellsjökull glacier and I see a glimpse of my friend guiding the tour. You can see a promo video I once made for the same...
