When I look at a map of Iceland it looks to me like a map of a fictional country, like the maps in The Lord of the Rings or other fantastical tales. The towns are small and seemed to be lost in the remote corners of the countryside, next to the dark andgrowling sea. Great volcanoes like Hekla and Snaefells control the land except for where the glaciers obliterate everything. The great Vatnajokull glacier with its tongues of ice covers are large portion of the south-east of the country, a vast expanse of white except where nunataks (mountain peaks) appear like desert islands.
