shewhomustLast week's Guardian review has an interesting article on William Morris in Iceland (illustrated with a lovely photograph of Jökulsárlón, which I don't think he visited). Fiona MacCarthy argues that the trip to Iceland influenced Morris's political thinking.
Recording our own trip to Iceland, the next stop was Húsavík, whale-watching capital and home of the Phallological Museum.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
durham_rambler had been adamant that he didn't want to visit this, so we hadn't scheduled a visit; now, as we drove into town at five to five, he was suddenly interested: "Isn't this where - oh, look! there it is!" By the time we'd managed to park (in the carpark of a supermarket where I was delighted to see, propped against a wall, a giant stencil presumably used to mark out disabled parking spaces) it was closed. Next time, then - and I liked the look of Húsavík, so that'll be fine.
Meanwhile, we had to move on to our destination: we were to spend the next couple of nights by Lake Mývatn.
