Abstract

Icelandic identity has always been closely tied with its natural landscapes. But how exactly are they entangled? What sort of claims does Icelandic nationality put on its natural landscapes? In a nation where hot springs are both sources of revenue from tourists and of geothermal energy, these questions motivate how Icelandic identity is being negotiated and represented to foreign visitors.
