Iceland Blog Sites

One of the most developed countries in the world, Iceland has seen a lot of press over the last few years following the Icelandic banking crash and, more recently, the Eyjafjallajökull volcano eruption. We've assembled and awarded what we consider to be the finest blogs from Iceland which effectively represent this great nation.
