10/10 would go to Iceland again.

[-] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

I got to do 24 hours in Reykjavik for a layover in early winter. Absolutely wonderful city

Actually my dream trip is the 10 day lap of Iceland, so yes, 1000% I will. Also, saved for future reference 😊

This restaurant is single handedly responsible for completely 180ing my attitudes on seafood. It broke me lmfao. I'm so thankful I was brought there.

[-] scytale@piefed.zip 3 points 2 months ago

Roughly how much did the 10-day trip cost?

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I did my Master's on a site in the region a decade ago. Suppose it depends on what you want.

[-] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Haha that's dangerous news - I am already a passionate seafood fan but alas, live in the dry lands.

Another comment you said you did your Master's there. Can I ask if you enjoyed the experience? I've wondered about doing a European masters but Iceland had never crossed my mind until today

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Do it. Dm me. I'm currently in an airport but will yap when I can. I actually did the program in Scotland but my study site was in Iceland. I think I did apply to Iceland though. I took Icelandic in college. :] It's a cool place.

[-] snklr@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

I live in Ísafjörður, this is the only place where I will eat fish by choice, well, this place and if me or my dad cook it.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 4 points 2 months ago

Blessuð! Já, I believe it. One day I'll be back. :)

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 18 points 2 months ago

They had this outside the last time I went.

I've played enough Dark Souls to know the guy in the armour is about to get his shit fucked up.

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Great views up at the top of the tower

I was lucky(?) enough that the volcano was going off whilst I was up there a couple of years ago and got some great pictures

[-] artifactsofchina@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Umm, wow!

Feel like this comment deserves more attention.

Would you share any of those photos?

Incredible.

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

This one is probably my favourite

[-] MrShankles@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago

That is hauntingly beautiful... and an incredible shot! Thank you so much for sharing!

[-] MrShankles@reddthat.com 1 points 2 months ago

I second the photo sharing

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Just replied to the other comment

[-] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

I was about to say! I've been there (only on the outside though, I can't enter churches without spontaneous combustion)

[-] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 months ago

I wonder if it was inspired by the columnar jointing formations you can find in Iceland?

a cliff made entirely of columnar rocks with extremely straight, well aligned cuboid formations. The overall effect is that the cliff looks like it’s made of nearly identical thin, tall rocks

[-] qevlarr@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Very recognizable and everyone who has ever been to Iceland has probably seen it.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 72 points 2 months ago

Seems pretty normal to me.

[-] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 3 points 2 months ago

That’s actually pretty good.

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 46 points 2 months ago

A very average looking church.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago
[-] Morphit@feddit.uk 8 points 2 months ago

It's à la mode right now.

[-] MrShankles@reddthat.com 4 points 2 months ago

Ahh, you sum' biche! I've now lost all confidence in my ability to catch a pun

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

Meh, I prefer median myself:-).

[-] MrShankles@reddthat.com 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

For a second, I thought you were being smug or something? And then the whoosh dawned on me... brava

Edit: I guess I was behind the curve on that one?

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I'd say it's a normal one.

[-] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 35 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Our Lady of the (bell) Curve

[-] Morphit@feddit.uk 3 points 2 months ago

It's Gauss' house.

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 2 months ago

Apostates! May all unbelievers of the Holy Stats be stricken with plague? (Unfortunately Americans might do just that🥴🙃😭)

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 months ago

It's deistically significant to plus or minus 2 parishioners.

[-] mr_account@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

That seems likely

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 10 points 2 months ago

And on the second slope you can see the 20% prediction interval

[-] saejima@ani.social 3 points 2 months ago

White Walkers' church

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

This a doomsday church?

[-] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago

The Church of Alpha the Utterly Indifferent, from "The Songs of Distant Earth" by Arthur C. Clarke?
