Speaker: Jim Roelofs - Iceland
 
Jim presented a photo tour of Iceland, starting with the capital city of Reykjavik. The climate is conducive to pedistrian, bike, and scooter travel. The city has a widely-used scooter program. Most people live close to the ocean and, the interior of the country is sparcely populated.
