    Every pic I see is meadow, and stone. Where do they get the trees for that construction? I mean I love Iceland, hotsprings, volcanoes, and the oldest continuous democracy. What’s not to like?

      @[email protected] the original wood was on the island. After it was all chopped down, driftwood became very valuable. A lot of farm fences still use driftwood to this day in Iceland. Otherwise, most lumber is imported. There’s a very (very) limited “logging” industry that produces some lumber, but it isn’t really at the scale that could support Iceland being self sufficient for lumber.
