Executive summary by darmansjah
Dusk falls on a primeval landscape on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. A final
relic from the world’s last ice age, this North Atlantic island nation is a
world of knife-cut valleys, gargantuan fjords, monumental cliffs, black-sand
beaches, thundering waterfalls, and silent white glaciers. Recent volcanic
eruptions remind us that Iceland is still a country in the making, with changed
landscapes that even Icelanders continue to discover.
Three years of financial recovery have made Iceland more affordable, with
consumer prices now largely pegged to the euro. The country’s return to a
humbler attitude stems from a thousand-year-old tradition of self-reliance—a
tradition that has preserved one of the world’s oldest living languages and
harnessed some of the cleanest energy on Earth.
