My neighbourhood

I live in the interior south of Iceland with a view the magnificent Mt. Hekla, which is said to be overdue for eruption. The last big eruption took place in 1947, but since then there have been three or four smaller ones. The thing with Hekla is that the further apart the eruptions, the bigger they are as a rule. 

I live just a stone's throw from Skálholt, Iceland's oldest bishopric. The present cathedral was built just after 1960, simple and majestic in form.

 Just about 20 km  away from my home you will find two of the country's biggest tourist attractions: -

-the one and only geyser, GEYSIR, and 

-the waterfall, GULLFOSS.

I believe I live in the heart of the country, but I think most of us Icelanders will say the same.
