Not only did the weather change seemingly on a minute-by-minute basis (we landed in deep snow, drove through thick fog, were greeted by beautiful sunshine on our trip to a lagoon - I know England's changeable, but this was just on another level entirely), but on our first night we were woken at around 1am by an earthquake! There is nowhere like Iceland to make you appreciate the earth and how THERE it is. Living in London, it's all too easy to forget. In Iceland, the earth speaks... and it's voice must be heard! It's so much easier to appreciate the relationship that this earthly voice has with our multitude of fleeting human voices when you stand at the Alþingi, practically witnessing the earth move in the very same place all those human voices came together so long ago.Medieval Bexhttp://medievalbex.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
