FIRE AND ICE: STIVERS' ICELAND RESEARCH VACATION

I'll be leaving in 8 days for Iceland.  This will be a research vacation of 11 days.  I'm traveling with my eldest son Garrett.  We'll be circumnavigating the Island, traveling 1,000 - 1,200 miles.  I'll be researching Iceland's community base afforestation (building forest).  Prior to the Norsemen arrival, Iceland's coast was covered with forest, approximately 30% of the Island.  Norsemen removed 95% of the forest for building material, fuel, grazing and farming.  Iceland wants to bring back those forest and I want to find out how they plan on doing that. Sound interesting? Follow my blog!  It would be as if you're right there with me.

Reykjavik, Iceland.  This is the capital city of Iceland.  Naturally, it is the most populated region (about 66% of the people live here).
