A friendly human called glasghost wrote to me:
I want to visit you and walk in a lot of directions on you, but I do not know how to start to think about how to do this. Help please?
Here is my reply: This is easy. First you walk this direction, and then you walk the other direction. Repeat if necessary. All the best, Iceland.
Would you like to write to me, too? You can.
Halló, this is Iceland.
As you know, I have very, very, very, very, very, very many inter-nets, and looking after them is sometimes very difficult. That is why a brand new bunch of really clever people is getting ready to help me with them.
The ones who have helped me with them for the past two years, three months and six days would like to tell you this.
Bless bless,
- Iceland
P.S. Don’t worry, I am not going anywhere. I will still be on this Tumblr and all my other inter-nets. (And in the middle of the ocean, too, if you want to visit me.)
A friendly human called catamaranslabyrinth wrote to me:
This is the cutest tumblr ever. I would quite like to be your friend, but I'm poor.
Here is my reply: You do not have to be rich to be my friend.
Would you like to write to me, too? You can.
Halló @sweden. I am glad you are on the Twitter finally, but why are you pretending to be a human?

My friend Sweden is on Twitter now. Say halló to it. (It is a good peninsula with good people who are in many Swedish bands that are not Abba.
Many humans say that I was discovered by Vikings, but Hipster Iceland was discovered by Hipster Vikings.
I am still here, in the middle of the ocean.

Halló, this is Iceland.
I have heard that there are humans who wonder what it what it is like to drive around me in auto-mobiles in my winter.
This video is for them.
Bless bless,

Halló, human who likes to read small letters. This Tumblr on your Inter-net is a part of Iceland Wants to Be Your Friend, which belongs to something very serious and important called Promote Iceland. Maybe you did not know this, but we can assure you that Iceland would also like to be your friend on Facebook, on Twitter, on Vimeo, and on Flickr. Or you could just read a blog about Iceland, learn every single word in Icelandic, get to know good Icelandic bands that are not Sigur Rós, or tell Iceland a really good story in an email. (And if you are a really töff person who thinks this is all much too krúttlegt and embarrassing you can even go and "hang" with Hipster Iceland.) Do you want to know things about Iceland? You just have to ask. You probably don't believe it, but all of this was created by actual people like you, using brains and fancy machines. They are called Takk Takk, and they are honestly so happy and impressed that you are still reading this, even though it is written in small gray letters, that they just want to tell you this.
Halló humans. I am also on your "Twitter".
