FWIW, I find Iceland beautiful for its lack of trees. Every place you go is filled with green arctic tundra with its distinctive fluorescent green color. Nothing obstruct your view and you feel like you are in the middle of wilderness.
I obviously support the replant action efforts, but want to highlight the beauty in the current state as well.
- runarberg 4y agoThe native flora in Iceland is a low growing birch. In some places a “forest” has the trees only reaching the height of an average person’s hips (although shoulder is more common). Large trees—and by that I mean taller then the average person—are all non-native and have been planted by humans. There is in fact a saying: “If you get lost in an Icelandic forest, stand up”.
