In public, Icelanders can be perceived as a bit cold in public. It only takes approaching them and talking to them a bit (most speak excellent English as all Icelanders are required to learn Icelandic, English, and Danish) and truly, they are very warm after that.
Icelanders are a curious people. They are very individualistic. The young ones out in public are not clones of each other. Sure, there are fashionable ones, but really, they all have their own thing going on. It kind of flies in the face of their personalities, but it is part of their charm.
It's been wonderful having a second visit to Iceland. One visit to any place is more of just getting your bearings, but a second visit really helps to start understanding the culture.
Hopefully we can post some pictures soon. We have taken over 1200 pictures between both of us, so we should be able to get some of them online so you can see how varied the terrain is here.
