Reykjavik Travelling
Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland. The name means “bay of damp” or “smoky bay” because of the warm water that comes from its subsoil. The ancient Vikings who settled in the area used this warm water for their baths while the city’s modern residents use it for heating purposes.
