True but in light of Sigur Ros and Mum, there's a vibrant music scene
that's been springing up there for the last few years. Not that they're
a good barometer of hip, but the New York Times were sending
correspondents there every few weeks early this year just to get a bead
on the scene there.

It is indeed a beautiful place and I definitely recommend going there.
The first thing to get over is that the name of the country is a total
misnomer. Most of the ice in Iceland is found on mountain tops and the
peoples' freezer in their refrigerator. Greenland is actually almost
all ice itself. Iceland has beautiful mountains, thermal springs,
gorgeous coastlines, fishing villages and midnight sun.
Best,
