You can watch the aurora while sitting in a geothermal pool or hot tub.

If you are even more lucky, you can see the aurora together with a volcanic eruption: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap060129.html

You can learn Icelandic within a week. Well, at least if you are Daniel Tammet.

God damn...it's just as well I don't act on all the information I'm given!

LOL. Too funny.

Seriously though one of the best things about Iceland: It was the last European country to officially convert to Christianity. Unfortunately they succumbed in the year 1000.

Yep. Bjork. As fine and adventurous a sing I've heard in the last 20 years. Love some of that old Sugarcubes stuff..
