What I Love About Me: Iceland
They may be close to the Arctic, but the beauties of Reykjavik, Iceland, are a whimsical kind of cool.

WHY WE LOVE REYKJAVIK: Heated sidewalks. Glacier snowmobiling. 99.9 percent literacy rate. Midnight suns. World's oldest parliament. Geothermal hot spot. Nightlife hot spot. The real Blue Lagoon. Women keep their maiden names. Green energy sources. Viking horses. U.N.-ranked "Best Place to Live." Big. Blond. Men.
