The untouch nature might not be here for long though, the current government has such huge industryplans I think there ultimate goal is that Iceland will be one big Alumium factory...
Well, considering such a large percentage of the island is considered uninhabitable (volcanic?), I'd say they'd have a tough time building too terribly many factories -- the land is just too rugged. Right?
[/QUOTE]Well yes, the highlands are pretty much uninhabitable (does the word nonuninhabitable mean anything.. ? [img]smile.gif[/img] ), but thats just rocks, the seacoast is almost all inhabitable and thats were the industrialization (ugh too big word) is happening. Not just factories but also thermal powerplants, which sink huge portions of untouched nature.
