After a flight enlivened by bone-rattling turbulence and a madwoman making a scene in the plane, my first glimpse of Iceland was, appropriately, the bright glacier of Snaefellsjökell (see previous entry), followed by a rapid descent into Keflavik.

I strongly recommend this post from my life-long friend and collaborator, Steve Muhlberger.
