Trying to keep warm in Iceland with the Cape Gazette

In December, Joe and Cheryl Hoechner of Pilottown Village toured Southwest Iceland and loved it! Iceland is a land of the Northern Lights, volcanos, lava flows, occasional earthquakes, sheep, glacial floods, friendly people, urban traffic circles, fresh seafood, unpronounceable names, low-cost electricity, and a lot of steam heat. 

Iceland has no worries about sea-level rise as the country is rising each year due to its location on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. They have no fireplaces, as there is very little firewood to burn, and all utility lines are underground for great views of the capital city Reykjavik.

Joe is shown here at the Geysir Center near Haukadalur. He & Cherly stopped in to warm up and catch up on news from back home.

They will be heading back there next summer so they can see it all again during 20 hours of daylight!
