The expats featured in this section share their reasons for moving to Iceland and the sights, sounds, and feelings about about living in Iceland that make (or break) their day.
Living in Iceland can be a daunting experience or an exhilarating one. It can take a certain amount of inner strength and open-mindedness to cope with the extreme weather, the seemingly insular attitude of the locals, and the prices of goods. On the other hand, the local culture and the wealth of natural attractions such as hot springs, volcanoes, geysers -- and beaches, even! -- make the Icelandic experience memorable.
