i've never been to iceland, but yesterday my ethnically-icelandic trainer was telling me that she feels comfortable here in hilly, wooded new england after the leaves fall, because she could "see more sky" which she misses from home. having lived in the far-more-seriously hilly and wooded pacific northwest i had to laugh -- there's a big sky there, but the trees are easily three times the size of your typical new england oaks and maples. i think each has its own beauty, but i did not suggest she visit :) --vicka
