My "Place"

Does anyone know where this is?
How about this?

Or this, maybe?

They are all from the same place...the country's flag looks like this:

Any guesses?


One last hint:
water from iceland - thjorsa, Eyjafjardharsysla 


These are all pictures of Iceland, my "place based education" pick!  Iceland is a beautiful island, slightly smaller than the state of Kentucky, with a population of 311058 people.  Nearly 2/3 of the population lives in the capital city, Reykjavik.  The nation has somehow kept its natural beauty, which is fascinating given the pressure to expand.  Iceland seems like it has an interesting story to tell.

P.S. I apologize for the funky fonts.  I'm not quite sure what's going on with the background coloring, and try as I might I cannot get it to go back to neutral.
