An apology to Iceland

Iceland's Independence day today. June 17.

I'm sorry fellow Nodics. But I know to little about it to dare to write about it. As I feel I know way to little about Iceland in general. Shame on me. I will do better, I have to do better. i just can be this ignorant.

But I hope you had a good day anyway.
