Just unpuzzle the following to work out the actual coordinates to visit. There may be water close by so please watch over your young ones and animals. Happy hunting!

Iceland is a fiercely patriotic country, particularly when it comes to their anthems of praise. Who could forget their famous Eurovision hits like "Þú og þeir (Sókrates)", "Sjúbídú", and (my own personal favourite!) "Gleðibankinn". However, this cache concentrates on their lesser-known 2002 entry: "aðgerðalaus Þorpið", sung by the group "Barnanna sjónvarp!" and roughly translated as follows:

aðgerðalaus Þorpið
Wake up! majestic Iceland
With you, there's always a way.
O men of our forefathers, wake up!
Wake up, you ladies of Frón.
Always we will be friends when colors are added,
Have you ever heard the midnight sun chuckle?

Have you ever clambered the depths of Hekla Fell?
We can do it, step by step.
Wake up! cry the Huldufólk from the mountains.
Give me snow, o Iceland. We add again, give me snow.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
