Iceland? Manuscripts? Will anyone be able to read or pronounce them?

[Wuli]

I have been to Iceland and visited two Musems there. I’d go again when/if I had the time and did not have other trips with more priority. Do not miss the Blue Lagoon hot springs spa if you ever go there.

[jerod]

The best thing to come out of Iceland... And she's crazier than a hoot owl. Awesome voice though.

[Bonemaker]

Not lost...

[SunkenCiv]

Oh yeah.

“Iceland immigration
Iceland Immigration: Iceland has seen a significant influx of immigrants in recent years, driven mainly by the needs of the economy and people coming to Iceland for family reunification.

Top Countries of Origin: In 2022, the top countries of origin for immigrants to Iceland were Poland, Ukraine, Romania, Lithuania, and Denmark, with 3,780, 2,284, 1,026, 879, and 832 immigrants, respectively.
Immigration Policy: Iceland has introduced its first comprehensive immigration policy, which aims to make Iceland an inclusive, multicultural society where immigrants have equal opportunities in both society and the job market.
Residence Permits: Foreign nationals require a work and residence permit to work in Iceland, which is granted by the Directorate of Immigration.
Integration Efforts: The Icelandic government has implemented various measures to integrate immigrants into Icelandic society, including language education and support for democratic, equal, and human rights-based values.
Immigration Trends: Iceland’s immigration trends reflect broader trends in Europe, with a focus on managing migration and improving security, and the country’s comprehensive immigration policy may inspire other EU countries to adopt similar long-term strategies.”

Like the Vikings didn’t heavily visit those resort areas back in the day? [maybe Romania not so much...]
