Inspired by Iceland

Inspired by Iceland wants you to know Iceland is bursting with energy!

Yes, it really is, and often in a good way.

Today is a social networking blitz to promote Iceland as a destination, since all ya scaredy cat potential tourists are suddenly deciding not to go there so much any more...

What, you're scared by an itsy bitsy little volcano?
Think of it this way: at least in Iceland we have an alert and prepared civil defence authority who know what they are doing and would keep you safer than most any place else in the northern hemisphere.
We like to think.

Anyhow, the promo video is beautifully produced, and I am constitutionally obliged to share it.

Web site has lots more pretty pictures, videos, suggestions and "I miss Iceland" stories.
Go browse.

Discover the Icelandic Horse
Imported from Iceland over 1000 years ago the Icelandic horse is one of the purest breeds known to mankind. Once a horse leaves Iceland it is never again allowed back into the country. In Iceland, there are no natural predators and as a result the Icelandic is generally a very calm horse. More about the Icelandic horse at Eidfaxi Magazine http://en.eidfaxi.is
