Babies Sleeping Outside
This might come as a shock to many people outside of Scandinavian countries, but this surprising practice is quite common in that part of the world, Iceland included. Babies are taken outside in order to nap outdoors, as many parents believe that the fresh air helps stave off illnesses and according to many sleep experts, cold temperatures are better for deep sleep.
The Comedian Mayor
In 2009, comedian and actor Jón Gnarr founded the Best Party, which started out as a satirical political group that eventually grew into a real one due to its overwhelming electoral success, which many believe was due to the 2008-2011 Icelandic financial crisis. He served as Major of Reykjavík from 2010 until 2014.
