"They are so big and they are so deep, they keep so much in it. Just look at the land. We have one-third of the universe, land under us, one-third yes. Two-third of it is oceans so its plenty of fish, plenty of people on the land, plenty of all kinds of animals, same in the sea but the fish, they are always trying to . . . they are trying to run from us but we have to catch it. That's why it's called catching."

cod wars*
We've all heard the American beef industry's slogan, "Beef, it's what's for dinner." But in Iceland, it's all about Cod. In fact, Cod is so important that declining populations led to a series of naval skirmishes between Iceland and Britain in what's known as the Cod Wars.

"the first Cod War lasted from 1958 to 1961. Basically, Iceland extended its fishing limits from 4 miles to 12 miles and declared that all foreign trawlers fishing within the new limits would be subject to arrest by the Icelandic coast guard vessels"

"Responding to this...British fishing vessels"
Though tensions grew between the Icelandic coast guard and British navy grew, this first Cod war ended without too much action. The Second and Third Cod wars, however, saw bolder moves by both parties.

"During the first Cod War...did so in the second one"
But, as one participant in the war explains, the British didn't stand by idly as their trawl lines where cut.

"I had one collision...cut their trawl"
Iceland's strategic position in the Cold War was even more useful than cutting trawls.

Tracey: So while I don't have to worry about any noticeable changes in the geography as I stand on it, this does open up the notion that over the course of millions of years, there has been a lot of change going on in Iceland.

I am thinking that the first two minutes, with some of the more boring dull moments cut out, would be good. The clip would probably come in at about a minute.
Iceland is a place of rugged natural beauty. Towering mountains and rocky plains fill the landscape. Weather is unpredictable and wild. We attempted to climb Eldfell, a volcano in the Westman Islands, in eighty mile an hour winds. Todd Mooring recorded himself as he climbed.

There is a little but more that I want to use, but Todd peaks out a bit, so I don't know if it would sound too bad. The part that I really want is right after Todd peaks; there is somebody in the background who says (faintly) "what the hell am I doing?" I think that that quotation would pretty much sum up the climb up the volcano.
lava bread\*
Iceland is located in an area of high volcanic activity. They have used this for many things. One thing they do is make lava baked bread. The lava baked bread was well known in the late 1900's that the story goes that the King of Spain himself wanted to try it.
"When we make bread in the lava we take the dough we put it into a milk box and wrap it with aluminum foil then we dig a small hole in the crater and leave it there for 4-5 hours. In 1987 when the king of Spain came here with a lot of people one of the things that was on his schedule was to go and eat lava backed bread. He mentioned to the mayor that he looked forward to taste lava baked bread. So the mayor knew. But then an hour before the mayor got the new that the bread had been forgotten. He called the local backer and asked him to take a bread he already made take it up put it into a milk box dig it in t hole. When the mayor when up he was very proud when he opened the package in front of everybody but when he opened it up the bread was

shower(energy so cheap)/radiator lots of energy few people*
Combine all of these alternative energy resources with a population of only 300 000, and you end up with almost limitless energy available to Icelanders.

"People always sleep with their windows open to get fresh air and then just have a steaming radiator underneath the window to heat up the air. So...and that's just the way it is"
I feel like I should write more for this part, but I'm not really sure what to say. I could point out the irony in keeping the window open and the radiator going, but I think that that should be apparent to everybody.
