Here’s something relaxing for you as you power through the middle of your week: remember some of the beautiful landscapes when Jon Snow, Tormund Giantsbane and others when beyond the Wall on Game of Thrones? The cool air, the endless vistas, the armies of dead men barreling towards you hell bent on ending the human race…calming stuff.

Iceland is indeed packed full of both glaciers and volcanic landscapes, which is why it’s known as the land of fire and ice, which obviously made it a perfect setting for an adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. You don’t argue with synergy like that.
