“The country was unreal. We said it was like visiting a new planet every day.”
– Mr. Nathan Colquhoun from a place called Sarnia (it is a real place) visited me with his wife and friends at the end of October. He took many pictures with me in them, and made a video with me in it. Then he wrote about it on his blog.

WatchHalló, this is Iceland.
It is true that my men are very manly, and sometimes have names that are hard for you to say. This is Þórgnýr Thoroddsen, whose name is very hard to say, but he makes up for it by being a very good (and manly) knitter.
If you see him on one of my streets, and would like him to give you some advice on how to do knitting like an Icelandic man, just call out “Halló,...

I have to tell them that my Northern Lights are like your human teenagers and punk rockers. They just do not like to do what they are told.

WatchAs you can see, my horses also want to be your friends.
(This short moving picture was made by Lindsay and Paul who visited me in September and October. They took many pictures and videos of my horses, which you should always call “horses”. My people don’t like it very much when you say “ponies”.)

A nice woman celebrates her husband's birthday on...
In October every year, a nice woman called Yoko visits me with her friends to celebrate her husband’s birthday.
(He was a famous musician who made many people happy with his music.)
To help people remember him, and to remind them to be nice to each other, his wife made a light tower on one of my small islands.
It sends a light up into the sky far above me, and if you visit me, you...
