Reykjavík’s Beauty

Between Christmas and New Year’s, Iceland is a virtual no-man’s land. Christmas is over, and all that’s left is waiting for the New Year. A year that always begins at the same time—half an hour after the national broadcasting company’s annual New Year’s comedy program ends. While waiting, it’s a perfect time to pass the hours by experiencing the pristine winter beauty that embraces us this time of year in Iceland. Land & Saga / Icelandic Times encountered this beauty… right in the heart of downtown Reykjavík today.
