    I just watched this again. Great job. So you know, I'm the Magicorn lady(I run an Eve Online alliance with Charles White, AKA the Spacepope, we're both space scientists) and when you asked me to stand still for 30 seconds was insanely hard as I'm a very stubborn Lyme disease patient and I could barely stand up! Your documentary was amazing in getting across the Eve community and a country I've adopted. I'm also glad I saw so many friends in the film *CWTCH* as we Welsh say x

    More and more people are coming to make this a priority when making food choices.

    I've visited and experienced Iceland..and it for sure allows you to experience a different take on life. It's a place that everyone should visit at least once in their life....even tho excessive turism was getting unbearable for most European destinations (in 2019). 2020 is all about "nobody move" and so the tourism and related industries pretty much died during 2020. However, once the pandemics is over, there's no best way to travel other than to travel outside of the 'tourist seasons'. No people anywhere and low prices - everything is accessible. (goes for Iceland and everywhere else on Earth).
    Visiting Iceland (properly) gives you an experience as if you're visiting another planet, different reality. (I am not talking about walking down a street in Reikjavik, obviously). Canada and Russia has probably a lot of this up north too...it's just uninhabited with zero access..waiting for global warming to catch on with human intentions to travel and explore the most northern parts of the globe in comfort.
