Iceland is a beautiful place to visit. I went in Oct 2016 and did some bus tours out of Reykjavik. They were good for a whirlwind tour, but very rushed - I recommend renting a car and driving around the island. Here's a shot taken out of the bus window of the town of Vik on the southern shore.

@jrtwynam I agree totally that Iceland is beautiful. I was there for a week once in December and had a fantastic time. The sky in your photo is spectacular. Beautiful photograph.

@ConanTheActuarian Nice! Was there a lot of snow there in December? I chose October when I went because I had read that the northern lights are best from Oct-Mar, and Oct had a better chance of good weather.

P.S. I got a good chuckle out of your handle.

@jrtwynam There was some. Not mountains of it. We did have a snow storm the day after we arrived that stopped a trip we planned to see a volcano. Otherwise it was mostly just very cold.

Glad you like the handle. It is an old joke from Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine: You know you are in an alternative reality when you discover that your insurance agent is Conan the Actuarian.
