© David K. Edwards. The mighty and magnificent Gullfoss. This is the exact scene, from this precise spot, that has been diligently photographed by thousands of tourists. The thousands of resulting photographs are virtually interchangeable, differing only by slight variations in water flow and ambient light. In the upper left, waving their tiny arms and selfie sticks, human beings graciously provide scale and mortal context.

© David K. Edwards. This is Highway 54, where my sweet GPS lady (Carmen the Garmin) directed me during my happy drive to Thing Valley. This is typical of the (better) unpaved Icelandic highways. The rainbow is not typical, but is not uncommon either: there's a lot of rain.
© David K. Edwards. A plate from the restaurant Loki of supposedly representative Icelandic dishes. These include mackerel, trout, dried haddock, and lamb on rye bread. In the center, with Icelandic flag and toothpicks, lurks the dreaded hákarl. This delicacy, essentially rotted shark, is widely considered one of the nastiest foods known to man. Anthony Bourdain described hákarl as “the single worst, most disgusting and terrible tasting thing.” According to rumor, the chef Gordon Ramsay vomited after eating a small cube of it. Indeed, it is not good: rubbery and putrid and tasting strongly of urine and salt and fishy decomposition. I did not vomit, but I did not ask for seconds. If you wish, you can buy it in the supermarket. Go for it. But if I were you I'd stick to the equisite Icelandic hot-dogs. No kidding. [P.S. Don't you hate people who seem to need to photograph their food before they eat it?]
They did say human and animal interaction was present at Jeju Loveland.
South Korea has a prudish past. It was only in the 70s that police were patrolling the streets with rulers, measuring the length of ladies’ skirts. Imagine the surprise on some of there faces seeing these sculptures.
