Looking at your pictures, along with some Google Image pictures of Iceland.. Iceland would make a good Middle-Earth. :P Yeah, it looks like nothing I’ve ever seen here (besides the geysers, anyway, which I saw in Yellowstone National Park).

However, what little I've studied thus far in the Icelandic book *is* rather complicated. It makes the grammar of German look rather simple. No small feat there... Awesome pictures of Iceland. I love the ones of the various mountains / lakes / etc. Well, at least for the time being, I really am just interested in learning to read it, so things should be at least a bit easier.

No small task you have in front of you there. Icelandic were extremely difficult to understand even for us who are Swedish :-) We were there 2004, a magnificent and magic country to explore! We would love to go there some day again. There is so much things to experience! If you ever go there, make sure you hire a car and drive around by yourself or with a guide. We did only go on bus/jeep excursions, but it would have been fantastic to have done some other tours on our own too.
