Itching for Iceland
by manz
Listening to Bjork's new album, Volta, and hearing her spine-tingling vocals over a variety of such charming music made me want to listen to more of the CDs I own by other Icelandic musicians. One of which is Sigur Ros. And listening to Sigur Ros reminded me of Iceland and its majestic landscapes, the midnight sun, the ocean, the magic in the air, and the smiling faces of the locals. Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands and The Rough Guide to Iceland are some great travel books on the land of fire and ice. If you haven't been to Iceland and don't plan on visiting, it's still worth a peek into some books (such as Iceland, Iceland- Enchantment of the Sea, Iceland- Cultures of the World) to experience the vast beauty the country has to offer. And there's always the beautiful Icelandic language which you can teach yourself.
