1) the amazing landscape, clean air and water
2) low population density means long lines, pressing crowds and huge traffic jams are uncommon.
3) excellent swimming pools in almost every village
4) once you get the hang of it, bureaucracy is pretty uncomplicated.
5) you can learn a fantastically obscure language and have the cachet of saying you live in a country that fascinates people the world over.

1. Unique and vast landscape
2. Pure and clear water and air
3. friendly people (most of us) willing to help out.
4. low population meaning not to crowded, allot of small towns to visit.
5. Most people here speak English so you have a chance to take your time to learn the language and still get through the day.

1) The friendly and helpfull people .聽聽2) The clean fresh air , I have never breathed so go as when I was in Iceland in August/ September.聽 3)The lack of heavy vehicle traffic and dangerous , crazy drivers all over . 4) The relaxed , safe feeling especially in Reykjavik that can only be understood by staying there . 5) The cool weather with no 100 degree temps like we have in California .
