Interesting. Speaking of those fosses, Gulfoss is pretty cool.

Often when I read about Iceland, it reminds me of the Jules Verne novel "Journey to the Centre of the Earth", which I read as a kid. Good novel.

Journey to the Center of the Earth is set in Iceland, if you weren't aware.

Yes, I was aware of it, thanks though. That is why I mentioned the novel in the first place. Was going to mention the jökulls too, as sibling comment does. One of them was Vatna or some such, need to check - it was long back that I read it :)

Update: Checked, that's the name:

Update 2: There are some interesting points in that Wikipedia article.

The the Icelandic volcano Snæfellsjökull is the entrance into the Earth, to be more precise.
