The picture was taken at 10:15 AM, dawn over Reykjavik. Hard to wake up in the dark, even though the watch assured me it was time to wake. We toured the Icelandic National Museum today. Very interesting. One thing I found extremely interesting is that about 80% of men here descended from Scandinavians, but 60% of women descend from Irish/British roots. Guess those Vikings stopped over in the UK to pick up a few wives. We also tried to go to the Natural History Museum but that was indefinitely closed, I imagine a victim of the fiscal crisis here.
