Akureyri

Take me back to Akureyri, sunshine capital of the north Through lava fields and bluest waterfalls rushing forth Summer solstice came and we never saw the dark A perfect time of year for an adventure to embark Natural hot springs buried like hidden treasure on the way Find them off the beaten path when it feels you've gone astray Sipping water from a stream melting off of glacial snow Refreshments courtesy of Skaftafell near Arctic Circle, just below As the sun dipped down at 3am to quickly greet us once again The feeling of a lit up ghost town emanates a calming zen To see once more the humpback whale and smell the fresh sea air One day I'll buy another ticket, and tell them, "Take me there."
