No, not that one. The one in Iceland.

I feel like more attention should be paid to the last paragraph and its goal of "uniformity in delivery."

Sky Lagoon? Or have they already reopened Blue Lagoon?

Already taking up the mantle of leadership, eh John? Although you misspelled "kneel."

There are also a number of good puffin watching spots on Heimaey, the only inhabited Westman Island. Head toward Stórhöfði, the south end of the island - there's a bird-watching blind there. If the winds are calm, you can try walking along the cliffs at the far south end. Lots of puffins.

Assuming you're up for a small diversion, you can take the ferry to the Westman Islands. The eruption there in 1973 buried about a third of the town. Eldheimar is there: a museum focused on the effects of the eruption. IMO, it's one of the best museums in Iceland.

If you're in to chess history, Bobby Fischer's grave is at a small church on the eastern side of Selfoss, a little town on the way to Vík.

The Hellisheiði geothermal power plant is worth a look. It's off to your left as you leave the capital area for Vík via the Ring Road. Next to it is an old ski lodge that was a set for Ben Stiller's "Secret Life of Walter Mitty" (it's where Walter gets his skateboard).

Keeping it on the ground is a bold choice for the Superb Owl.

Yes, it's prejudicial. That's what makes it relevant.

But volcanoes are fun! If you'll send me your itinerary, I'll see what we can scrounge together for you.
