 Food: Pure & Simple
Long before there was "organic", there was Iceland. Our culinary traditions favor pure, wholesome products that deliver bright, fresh flavors. Rich, unpolluted landscapes and abundant clean water offer the perfect environment for growing the best food. Our tight regulations enforce the highest standards in hygiene, taste, and appearance. The proof is in every delectable meal we serve and in every wild blueberry picked from our hillsides.
Long before there was "free-range", there was Iceland. In spring, lambs are sent high into the mountains to graze on the bounty of our clean volcanic soil then rounded up by horseback in the fall. The tradition still goes on and explains why Icelandic lamb tastes so perfect and delicate. Our meat never lives in a factory.
Long before there was "artisanal", there was Iceland. Whether we're making cheese, butter, chocolate, or vodka, our product stands out for its purity and homemade flavor. Iceland is a country without any additives, preservatives, or chemical-enhancement. Our food follows the same philosophy and you can taste the difference: a bite of Iceland tastes 100% natural.
 Fresh Fish
In Iceland, cod is life. We understand fish and depend on it, which is why our standards for healthy, sustainable fisheries are so rigorous. To ensure the ultimate in fresh flavor, Icelandic fish are fresh frozen at sea and shipped directly to you. Iceland's coastal waters are protected from pollution by strict laws to guarantee the highest quality fish. Our proximity to North America makes us the quickest source for fresh cod, haddock, and all your favorite North Atlantic fish.
The Art of Dining
Armed with the purest ingredients and their raw ingenuity, Icelandic chefs dish up an artistic experience that wows all the senses. Our restaurants have a reputation for putting the best of sea, land, and sky onto your plate and always with an unexpected twist. In Reykjavík, dining options range from the iconic to the experimental and with so many restaurants to choose from, your palate never gets bored. Blending unique global flavors with the fresh, organic, and traditional staples of Iceland-our colorful gourmet scene is a destination unto itself. http://www.icelandnaturally.com/culture/food/

29 January 2012  For all those who chase Atlantic salmon, Russia has to be the top "must try" venue on the globe. There is simply nowhere else inthe world that produces the combination of big fish and hugh runs as the Kola Peninsula. And the variety of water is awesome. Famed rivers such as Kola, Kitsa, Yokanga, Varzina and the renowned Ponoi are all destinations that Lax-a can offer.

The new Loop Cross S1 fly rod series is the single most important revolution to occur in fly fishing since we introduced the large arbor reel over 20 years ago. It’s that big.
If the large arbor provided revolutionary function that made the fly reel exponentially better, you won’t believe the difference Cross S1 construction makes with fly rods. We could write an entire book on the adventure that has led to the Cross S1 series of fly rods. We could look up and write down all the available superlatives that are yet unused by other manufacturers (not many left nowadays), but the only way to truly describe what we mean is to hand one to you and let you test for yourself. If there has ever been a time in our history of development of high-performance fly fishing gear where Loop merited a “look” and a test from the fly fishing world, it is now.

10 January 2012  Iceland is on the travel planner at the Guardian in September. Like article writer Tom Hall rightly points out, airfares are cheaper in September. Another good thing in September is the fishing. Most of the rivers in Iceland are open until the end of the month and some even until end of October. We recommend that you look at the salmon fishing as well as geese shooting that starts in September. Even combining the two. You can see the article here.
