OK
Let start by unfollowing Facts daily since the have no idea what they are posting and dont bother to research anything they post

We are around 400 k and the omly true thing in this post is that the water is free just hand them a bottle and they will fill it up for you.
And.. its not clean because its thermal, the hot water is thermal and smells of sulfur in some areas and we dont drink that
Be careful out there and dont believe everything you see on fb

ICELAND: 🇮🇸 🏔️ The country where education and medicine are free.
- No McDonald's or Dungeons (prisons).
Every person dreams to lead a better life and live in a modern country.
From this point of view, Iceland is the ideal country. There's no army here, electricity is free and people rarely lock their cars and houses!
Iceland is a northern insular country located between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean and was under Danish sovereignty until December 1, 1918.

👨 👨 👦 👦The population of Iceland is only 332,529 people. People trust themselves, so they don't lock their cars or homes, and children can stay unattended for a few minutes while parents shop.
Here are some interesting tidbits about Iceland:

📚 Icelanders love to read a lot. Occupied, No. 1 in the world.
If you order water from a cafe or restaurant, it's not like you have to pay.
They will give you tap water which is very good because it's a thermal. 💦
👷🏻 If you decide to change jobs, you won't need a recommendation letter for your previous job.

Icelanders trust people and they will not control you in any way.
Iceland is the only country in the world where voting takes place online.
This country is considered very conservative. The locals take a very serious attitude towards marriage.
Currently, tourism is very developed in this country, the number of tourists increases every year and is 2 times higher than the population.
🧑🏻 ✈️No army in Iceland. If a citizen wishes to perform his military service, he/she can join the Norwegian army on the basis of an agreement between these countries.
🏣All schools and other educational institutions are free here.
aThere are no private clinics because there simply aren't
ÉtatState hospitals offer very good medical services.
🔥Iceland is one of the few European countries to use urban heating and people don't pay for it.

Beautiful Iceland 😍✨💫❤️
Hengifoss is one of those places that just don’t seem reel. However those red and yellow stripes in the earth are real and give us a bit of a geological timeline. The red and yellow are from old volcanic clay from past eruptions over thousands and millions of years.

There is widespread misleading and wrong information around regarding the Aurora Season. Well, I can only state how it is here in Iceland.
"It starts around mid-August and ends in late April".
I shot this with my phone from my porch in Selfoss last year on April 29th just after 2am.
So even with the blasting Moon 🌝 in the frame...
But mind you, the nights dark enough for this to show have got very short 💚
So, there is still some time to go................
