For us this is closer, easier, and less expensive than flying to Yellowstone, Glacier, and California. Iceland is not Antarctica. It's easier to get to than most people think. 2. Almost everyone speaks English in Iceland. Every single Icelander we met spoke English--and very good English at that. Iceland may look like another planet--but communicating there is very easy. 3. Iceland is (for the most part) very welcoming to tourists. Generally speaking--Icelanders like tourism. It is currently the number one driver of their economy. They also like Americans and American culture, music, and television. Iceland is a European country but very different than other  European countries we have visited. 4. Iceland is one of the cleanest countries we have ever visited. Period! End of story. Every town and national park we visited was meticulously clean. This is partly due to the small population of the country--but also due to a love of neatness and order.  Almost every restroom, shower, and spa we visited was spotless. 5. Icelandic people are “can do” entrepreneurial but also easy going and relaxed. Life moves at a more relaxed pace in Iceland (when compared to America at least) even though they are “can do” people.  Their unofficial national saying is "Thetta Reddest" which translates to “It will all work out.” This saying really does crystalize the essence of the Icelandic people--at least in our eyes. 6. Icelandic spa and thermal bath culture is amazing. There are big (heavily) touristed thermally heated spas like Blue Lagoon and Sky Lagoon--and then there are smaller community pools that also have warm water and showers. There is also everything in-between these two extremes.  If you don’t go to a spa or community pool--did you really go to Iceland? 7. The population of Iceland is 382,000--the country is not crowded when it comes to driving, parking, etc... 60 percent of those people live in in the greater Reykjavik area. 8. Free drinking water is available everywhere and it is fresh and good. Icelanders are proud of their drinking water and they should be. 9. Clean bathrooms are available just about everywhere that tourists might go. At least along the Golden Circle and along the south coast where we visited. 10.
