Leirhnjúkur, Myvatn Region, Iceland

This sign typifies much of our experience in Iceland. We’d found ourselves asking each other the question: how the hell do you pronounce this?

Krafla Volcano, Myvatn Area, Iceland

On a recent trip to Iceland, we visited the Krafla volcano, where I saw this sign. I’ve never visited a place where the ground can burn your boots right off. We stayed on the marked trails, but it was shortly thereafter that I noticed that the soles on my boots were starting to starting to come apart (a few days later they could completely disintegrate).

I took a picture of this sign because I thought it was one of those iconic images of Iceland.

Speed Humps in Seyðisfjörður, Iceland

In the fjords of Eastern Iceland, lies the quaint little town of Seyðisfjörður. Once home to famous artist Dieter Roth and now the terminus of the ferries arriving from mainland Europe, Seyðisfjörður is beautiful. Near a school, we found this sign. We’ve seen signs for speed bumps before, but never a sign for dual speed humps. My wife nicknamed this sign: children running across women’s breasts. I think is appropriately named!
