Inspired By Iceland
Iceland are really going to town on self-promotion right now in the wake of the banking crisis and the ever-so-naughty Eyjafjallajökull volcano. This video above is in itself good fun, but the accompanying website is even better, particularly the live webcam section. There are currently five high quality, full-screen webcams on the site. The one I’m linking to is of Skólavörðustígur, one of the main streets in Reykjavík and the street I stayed on when I visited recently. In the live footage, you’ll see the majestic Hallgrímskirkja which I went up to the top of. You’ll also see the book shop/cafe I hung out in a few times (of which, you can only see the “…mundsson” of the shop name). Watch the 4x4’s trundled their way down the street, then perhaps go see what’s happening at the world famous Blue Lagoon.
