Why is Iceland such a popular tourist destination when it is so unequivocally, overwhelmingly bleak and depressing?
Why is Iceland such a popular tourist destination when it is so unequivocally, overwhelmingly bleak and depressing?
Juan Russell
Brayden Sanchez
because its interesting and not depressing
Brody Walker
The same reason people go to the UK
Xavier Mitchell
because it's pure primordial kino.
you may now respond to me with a soyjack of >EXPOSED GRASS HILLS
Eli Morgan
>overwhelmingly bleak and depressing
Just like jolly old England
Carter Harris
Oh boy if you think Iceland is depressing I guess you haven't been to eastern europe yet.
Evan Bell
the UK has
>a fuckload of cities
>a fuckload of historical sites
>a fuckload of national parks
>trees, moorlands, diverse scenery across the different countries
>actual things to do
iceland has
>perpetual cloud coverage (more than the UK)
>pitch black winters
>a few modest settlements here and there
I have nothing against the Icelandic people, but my soul would slowly fade away if I had to live there.

>>a fuckload of national parks
>>trees, moorlands, diverse scenery across the different countries
Nathaniel Taylor
Relatively speaking, across the small land area of the UK.
No country on earth is as diverse in landscape as the USA but your country is fucking huge
Jackson Nguyen
>popular tourist destination
is it tho? surprised why would anyone visit country in europe other than italy
Caleb Price
not many ppl want to see castles surrounded by chavs that you can see all other the world anyway
Aiden Lee
Both places next to North Pole or South Pole is very touristic... Some monkes pay gibs just to go to Tierra del Fuego, in Argensimia
Nolan Long
imagine if they still had trees
Carson Ramirez
It has cool volcanoes and shit
Asher Phillips
I lived my live in resort cities. Even the sheer thought of weather without sun for months with blistering snow that last for the better part of the year, depressing landscapes stretching all the way to the eye can see, hills of ice under the dark blue, pastel colored sky seems so foreign and exotic to me. Scandis live in a different world.
Sebastian Thomas
>my absolutely paradise home country is... le boring
>that depressing, grey, dull, dark scandinavian hellhole is... le good and exotic
why do third worlders always do this
Connor Carter
scandi forests and norwegian mountains are kino though
Ethan Rogers
i don't think he implied "le good" part
Jeremiah Bennett
This is what my city have, Parque Domingos Coelho... And is a shit, the only atraction of city
Henry Sanchez
Yeah I get that a lot from tourists that come here and say this is a literal paradise while working remotely and earning money in one of the big boy currencies. I met a brit guy at the airport who settled in antalya, fluent in turkish, and he was the happiest man in the world. His default expression was happiness. I don't know how firsties find this place so alluring if they aren't planning on going back after a week or two.
Aaron Martinez
Because they look at it the same way as amusement park. Like the black sand beach Reynisfjara. Whole lot of tourists die there every year, swept into the sea because these retards think of it this way. Its all so beautiful and quirky to them.
Hudson Bennett
because if you are from a dark northern meme country like britain, it's impossible to be sad when you're in a sunshine resort country like Turkey
Logan Phillips
because it is beautiful. Pic i took four years ago.
Also it's wild to go somewhere where there are no trees and the primary colors are black and green
Aiden Lopez
Scotland has landscapes like this but at the same time also has actual foliage
Jack James
wow a green mountain.
nigga look at your own nature for once
Gavin Price
well I also liked Reykjavik except for the $12 USD beers
Michael Wood
its funny to see those tourists take pictures of these modern arts that have no history, theyre only there for tourists to be interested.
no one here likes icelandic """"art"""
