Yup, well done eightonedee!

This is, as I understand it, all that remains of Iceland's once less-than-comprehensive rail network. Now even Minør has disappeared!

Perhaps it's not in keeping with Iceland's ambition to become carbon-neutral. It has the greenest electrical grid in the world - more than 99% geothermal or hydro - and it's doing quite well rolling out EVs too. Mind you, it's probably easier for them to achieve all this given their abundancy of free energy, in a country smaller than England with a population size similar to Bristol's...

[P.S. Yes we did see the Northern Lights. Mrs Squirrel very happy to tick it off on her bucket list]
