In the Land of the Vikings

66 degrees


I thought Iceland was green and Greenland was ice. Was that not the big practical joke that the Vikings played on the rest of the world so as to keep Iceland to themselves? I guess they weren't in northern Iceland in November. Oh well, we're still swimming outdoors; although it is taking a few more laps then it used to to get warm.

This picture was taken at 10:30 this morning. The snow isn't staying on the trees because of the wind. There is now two types of daylight: sunrise and sunset, with nothing in between! Ahhh...living next to the arctic circle.

  • That'a so cool. When I was looking into Norway it was the same thing in the winter. There is even weeks (I think it's about a month) during the winter that people don't see the sun at all! And in the summer it's the opposite, no darkness.
