Paul Griggs of Wynantskill New York sent us this brilliant list:
1. Móðir mín (my mother, she lives in Eyrarbakki)
2. Egils appelsín (a popular softdrink)
3. Bjúga (a thick sausage)
4. Slaying a foss (a waterfall, by climbing to the top)
5. Having a name for every farm
6. The Northern Lights, as seen from Blafjall
Northern ligths.
7. Skyr–plain, with a little cream and a touch of sprinkled sugar

8. The daily chess puzzle in Morgunblaðið (a daily newspaper)
9. Looking up people in the phone book by their first name
10. Waking up in a tent at Skaftafell and seeing the glaciers and hearing the ptarmigan
11. Getting up close and personal with the waterfall at Gullfoss

13. Pysuvagninn Selossi (a hotdog stand in the town of Selfoss)–much better than Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur (which does not have Egils appelsín)
14. Parents leaving their kids in a stroller outside a shop
15. The par 3 over the ocean at Suðurnes golf club
