242,724 Earthquakes and 7 eruptions in Iceland since 1996 Did you just notice Iceland when Eyjafjallajökull began erupting? Did we freshen up your memory with the Grímsvötn eruption (it’s officially over by the way)?

Anonymous asked: Do you speak portuguese? Just wondering.
I read it online that there was around 400 portuguese people in Iceland. Is there any Portuguese Consulate in Iceland where I can make contact about travelling, work and general lifestyle in Iceland?
I adore your blog and everytime you post pictures or news, I just want to go to Iceland as soon as possible!

Skógafoss "tropical forest"
http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmoreira/4952480112 Thank’s for the pic Daniel! Ou talvez melhor dizer obrigado! Skógafoss really is nicely framed in this pic, making it look like it is in a tropical forest. The actual meaning of Skógafoss is “forest waterfall”, so it is fitting. However there is very little forest around Skógafoss.

Last breaths of the Grímsvötn volcano →
Earlier today I posted a picture of the final activity in the Grímsvötn eruption along with some info. However this video is much better. Check it out. The site is in Icelandic, but to see the video just click “Horfa á myndskeið með frétt” at the top of the article.

dimmey asked: Brilliant. I've lived in Iceland all my life, an absolutely fascinating place, but you never really learn to appreciate its true beauty when it's in front of your eyes all the time. But still, you somehow manage.
