iceland photos & more

below this post are several photos from iceland. these were taken in northern iceland, near the island of Hrisey, where my mom was born.

yes, my mom is an icelander; my dad is an american (north dakotan by birth, part Russian/German and Real American - from a family that settled in the USA pre-1776!!). so i been sort of an international mutt - 51% icelandic and 50% american (ok, the math doesn't work, but it reflects my attitude). until recently, legally, i was only 100% american, but on 9 December 2005, by act of the icelandic parliment (althingi), i was granted icelandic citizenship!! way cool!! so officially, a dual citizen of Iceland and the USA! The best of both worlds... so i'm 100% american and 101% icelandic (another case of bad math).

regardless, enjoy the photos below.
cheers,
Erik
