Cold Enough For Ya?

"But most of what Iceland’s got is bundles of weather. This isn’t anything as benignly balmy as a climate: this is weather that is like living with a giant psychopathic bouncer, weather of heroic, mythic proportions. The air around you is a sensate physical presence on a mission. For nine months of the year, outside the clattering windows stalks a man-killer that wants your guts for Popsicles. Welcome to Iceland, twinned with Valhalla."
