Iceland, In My Opinion
It’s one of the most volcanic places on Earth, which seems weird being that this is Iceland…one of the coldest places on the planet. Nature is at its spectacular best in this frigid little country, but it’s harsh. It’s a beautiful but rugged country that’s tough on the people. They share their existence with active volcanos. But Icelanders are tough as nails. This is Viking country. To survive a life lived near the Arctic Circle, they have to be as hard as their country. They go about their daily business as if there’s nothing particularly terrifying about living with running lava. They go visit the active lava flows and hang out chilling while lava pours out all around them. I’m not kidding. I posted video of it. People in Hawaii look at this and think “we watch our volcanos from at least ten miles away. This is crazy!” But Icelanders don’t seem to mind standing around watching the Earth invent new land as they go about their daily lives. Say what you will about Iceland and Icelanders…they’re the only people on the planet who’ve actually managed to save their town by beating back the lava.

Walk The Neighborhood
Move the mouse on top of the little gold man on the map. Hold down the left mouse button and you’ll see blue lines appear. Those lines are streets. Drag and drop the little man on top of the street you want and let go of the mouse button. The picture on the right will change to show you a view of that street along with the street name. Click the arrows on the street to “walk” around. Or you can double-click the street to walk if there’s an arrow under your cursor. Roll the middle mouse button to zoom in and out. That’s all there is to it. Now get out there and explore!
