COMMENTS: Go to Vik--Help Pay Iceland’s Debt
NBC understands how cool Iceland is. Robert Bazell landed a couple of trips there to report on genetics and geothermals. Now Stephanie Gosk files an In Depth feature on what the island can possibly do now its economy is in "complete collapse" with all of its major banks failing and four years of borrowing for "new homes, expensive cars, designer clothes" coming to a screeching halt. "People say the Viking spirit helped them survive on this remote island for nearly 1200 years and they will need to tap into a little more to get out of this C21st mess."
Speaking personally, a January walk along the black beach at Vik as the gray sea's waves break under a flurry of white snow helps one understand color as nowhere else in nature.
