Wait, did Iceland actually fall for our prank? They believe snakes exist! Next they'll start believing in Australia!
bro imagine actually thinking legless lizards could ever exist, makes no sense
I'm blind
I will never see a hot spring I will never see a land of grass I will never see a volcano I will never see a glacier I will never see a puffin I will never see a lamb
Where TF you live bro, there are plenty of those in the US. Except puffins, I’m not so sure about those. Alaska might have some.
Come to think of it, Alaska probably has all of these.

Where is this?
At least they have Costco.

no train ?
Iceland is very small. It takes about 25 hours to drive around the entire circumference of the country. That, coupled with there being a very small population in general, any train would be empty most of its running hours.
Reykjavik, Iceland biggest city, is super easy to walk. The entire thing. It takes almost no time. You don't need a train if you can get everywhere by foot.
We rented a car while there and experienced zero traffic.
Also sections of the country routinely get closed off because the ground is exploding with molten rock, it's much easier to reroute road traffic and maintain infrastructure especially in such complex topography.
Not enough people outside the capital to make it worth it. They have had rail systems built but were later decommissioned. One was built for the building if a harbor but after construction it didn't get much use.
There's like 370k people in all of Iceland.
TIL that Icelandic people are never allowed to leave.
That's it your going to Iceland
It's because if they go slightly South, they melt.
Damn. I'm gonna go pet my turtle for iceanon
Edit: I could take my turtle on the train
Got a lot of nice waterfalls though.
Yeah but Puffins
They don't have trains in Iceland?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_transport_in_Iceland
they used to, for certain construction projects (harbor, hydro dam). but none currently, although a passenger light rail has been proposed around their capital
Low population, heavily concentrated in one city, with little heavy industrial activity, coupled with very unforgiving terrain (steep volcanic grades) and even more unforgiving weather (severe frost heaves/thermal fluctuation, huge snow load).
there's just no economic reason to build difficult railways when your entire country is like 300mi across and never moves enough stuff in bulk to need it. including people.
The only real use case would be for Keflavik to Reykjavik. But even that is handled just fine by a fleet of coaches.
So, you just ask your coach while training "can you take me to Reykjavik?"
I learned that hummingbirds are native to North America and they don’t have them in Europe. That made me sad for all of them over there.
Birds in the rest of the world actually bother to learn the lyrics.
