The document summarizes several popular sights in Iceland, including the tall Hallgrímskirkja church in Reykjavík, the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa, Þingvellir National Park which contains the site of Iceland's original parliament, and the active Hekla volcano. It also mentions the Skaftafell Ice Cave, the Northern Lights (aurora borealis), Eyjafjallajökull volcano which disrupted European air travel in 2010, and Iceland's cute native animals, being careful to avoid the "giant death volcanoes". The conclusion encourages visiting Iceland but staying away from its erupting volcanoes.

3. Blue Lagoon
Located in Grindavík, the Blue Lagoon is
a geothermal spa that is an average of
98 - 102 F. Minerals like silica and

5. Hekla
An infamously active stratovolcano, Hekla
became known as the “Gate to Hell” in
the Middle Ages. It has produced the
largest amount of lava in the world in
the last millenium and is set to erupt
again this year.

6. Skaftafell Ice Cave
Located in Vatnajökull National Park, the
ice caves are temporary structures
formed under a glacial lake. New ones are
formed every winter, the only time it’s
safe to enter the caves.

7. Aurora Borealis
It’s a beautiful natural phenomenon that
only occurs in the far north. Though it
can happen in many locations other than
Iceland, the landscape makes it seem even
more beautiful. It occurs only from late
fall to early spring.

8. Eyjafjallajökull
A glacier that is also another volcano, it
may be even more active than Hekla,
erupting in 2010 and disrupting almost
the entirety of air traffic in and out of
Europe for a week. It is also apparently
a GIANT DEATH VOLCANO.

9. Cute animals
Admiring native animals is very useful for
helping to ignore the giant death volcano.
Not as useful if you fail to keep them
away from the giant death volcano.

10. THE END
Go to Iceland.
(Just stay away from the giant death volcano.)
