If I lived there I’d never want to go to the mall……oh wait, I don’t want to go to the mall now.
I’d set up battlements to discourage all potential visitors. You wouldn’t get many that far north.

Yeah, it’d be pretty dark there but you’d still get light pollution from Reykjavik. It’d be nice an quiet too except when the wind was blowing which is probably 350 days per year!

You might want to consider the fact that all the land around you managed to collapse into the ocean for whatever reason.——- Just something to think about.

T4C, There is a very dark place I go to in Central Oregon for a week each year with our telescopes. I know the sky very well but I get lost at that location because there are so many damn stars that it becomes difficult to discern the constellations. The really interesting part is that the stars appear to be spread out in a three dimensional manner so that some stars, even clusters of stars appear to be at different altitudes. Some appear to be hanging low enough to touch. The only other people (besides amateur astronomers) I’ve heard describe this appearance of depth are high altitude pilots and astronauts.

I remember looking at the stars up at Bear Valley in the Sierras at about the 8,000ft level on a crystal clear (I know that’s relative) night, no moisture in the air in the middle of winter. The sight of all the stars will leave you awe struck. It’s the most amazing experience that a person can have.
And no, pictures just don’t give you the same experience, not even close.

That place is the Icelandic version of Soady Deer Camp except they hunt puffins there.
