That’s my concern, that and the air travel if that Katla goes off.

I should have gone a couple years ago when I got the passport to do so. It would have been a shoestring budget affair but at least I would have done it. lol

There is an Icelandic festival in Canada every first weekend in August near Winnipeg, Manitoba. It is held at a town called Gimili on Lake Winnipeg. That would be the closest I know of. The usual parade, shiners, Amma’s Kitchen where you can sample Icelandic food. My mom was born in this area. Still lots of people of Icelandic descent live there. They came during a famine in Iceland from the 1880’s. That would be the next closest I know of. No hot springs or glaciers, though. Heckla Island is near, a local resort that I went to long ago.
