    30,000 residents of the Reykjanes peninsula – a tenth of Iceland’s population.

    So… there is basically no one in Iceland.

      How is 300,000 people “no one”? That’s a lot of people, other countries having more doesn’t change that.

        Iceland birthed Sigur Ros and Bjork. You’re historically the most important country on earth in my book.

      Funny that you’re downvoted so heavily, my Icelandic buddy just nodded along at this statement

      We were told as much when we visited. Apparently they get upwards of a million tourists a year, three times their actual population.

      Yeah, I was baffled how empty it is when I visited. Their capital is like a district in most other capitals.

      Still beautiful though.
