S2 08 | Reykjavik's lightness of being
Iceland's capital Reykjavik is a place where people navigate geographic isolation, long periods of light and dark, unforgiving weather… and the intermittent threat of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Put together, this perhaps has led to a portrait of Iceland being an intrepid, exotic place — a place where visitors want to live out their Game of Thrones fantasies. But in actuality, daily life is — as many things are in the Nordics — beautifully pragmatic.
