Approximately 500,000 tourists visited Iceland in the year 2010 and 600,000 are expected to visit Iceland in 2011.

        Iceland made headline news again this May when a short but forceful volcanic eruption caused flight delays for thousands of passengers.  While the eruption disrupts travel plans for thousands of passengers and is sure to cause some discomfort for them it has a more profound effect on the people and animals living literally under the volcano.

        This spring was cold and the summer begins with a dash of cold breeze from the Arctic. For people living in the northern hemisphere the spring and summer are important. It is the time of relief from cold, snow and fierce winds. If the spring is short then the window of warmth and sunshine gets smaller. However, we can not only measure the experience of spring and summer by the number of degrees and hours of sunshine, but in the quality of the hours, we spend and share with others during spring and summer.

        Decades ago it was a rare event when an article was published in the international press about Iceland. The writer became "a friend of Iceland" (even without knowing it) and we felt like everyone in the big world living outside our lonely island must have read the article at least once. We felt internationally recognized. Far from the truth, but it helped us in a way to keep our hopes alive that one day Iceland would become a tourist destination worth visiting.

        The seals around Iceland have for a long time been a part of Icelandic history and heritage. Throughout the ages the seal played an important part in the survival of the Icelandic people. During cold and dark winter days the seal brought light and warmth to houses built with hay and mud as the oil from the seal was used for light.

        National parks are normally great tourist attractions.  They are usually situated in areas considered exceptional in landscape, flora or fauna and/or have historic significance.  They are often government owned and run and therefore have easy public access.  In Iceland the law mandates the state to facilitate public access by making information easily accessible, laying trails and offering visitor facilities.
