"With the terrifying possibility that there could be President Trump in a few days...
...it's time to start planning where you can escape to for the next four years. I recommend the best country in the world, Iceland.
1. The Land of Fire and Ice
That's right. That's what Iceland is known as. It doesn't get more bad ass than that.
2. Huldufólk
The Icelanders have a long folklore fascination with trolls. When you have a country that is few in numbers, you have to double your population someways...
3. You can touch the North American and Eurasian plates at the same time
Yes, you can actually SCUBA between them. And walk between them. Amazing!!!
4. The Blue Lagoon
It's always 90 degrees and it really looks like that.
5. Northern Lights
The skies can look like this from October till March. Can you imagine walking outside and seeing that?
6. Northern Lights Part 2
If you live in Reykjavik and are afraid that the city lights are too bright and will wash out your view of the Northern Lights, don't worry. Your government's got your back.
7. Dog Sledding
You can ride a dog sled on a glacier as the sun rises. Or you can do this while watching the Northern Lights ignite the sky.
8. Waterfalls
And that's just one of the many.
9. Hakarl and Brennivin
There's a national tradition of eating bites of fermented shark with shots of what is nicknamed "Black Death."
10. Icelandic horses
They're cute and hairy and stumpy. But be careful, they bite.
