Why do so many of us Jellies have an interest in Iceland?

Asked by Yellowdog (12216points) February 12th, 2019

This is a spin-off question to @Itoban’s question about what your top five travel destinations would be.

I noticed that Iceland made many people’s lists, including my own.

A highly literate country where one in five stores is a bookstore. A language strongly conserving old Norse. A Viking heritage and Celtic Christians over 1,000 years ago considered it a sanctuary, and still is for many of us. A LONG history of female presidents. Lots of isolation and stark, striking scenery but plenty of cozy places. epitomizing the Scandinavian concept of hygge.

The Aurora Borealis is quite spectacular there, and Iceland seems to be one of the most enlightened cultures in the world.

I am curious as to why so many Jellies included Iceland, as I am sure the answers are as myriad as the personalities here.
