Day 1 - Reykjavík

Reykjavík, Iceland: Sprawling Reykjavík, the nation's nerve centre and seat of government is home to half the island's population. Overlooked by the proud Mt. Esja, Reykjavík presents a colourful sight with its concrete houses painted in vibrant hues and topped with red, blue, and green roofs. In contrast to Iceland's almost treeless countryside, Reykjavík is adorned with tall native birches, rowans, and willows, alongside imported aspen, pines, and spruces. The city's name originates from the Icelandic words for smoke, 'reykur', and bay, 'vík', named by Norseman Ingólfur Arnarson in AD 874. Today, most houses are heated by near-boiling water from hot springs, eliminating air pollution. The slight sulphur smell in hot water is notable.
