It intrigues me. With a population of only 300k, it doesn't take much to become well known in Iceland. But what I like is that nobody seems to care too much. Maybe it's because of the population size, and the fame limit is capped at 300k. Or maybe it's just cultural differences.

Re: Well Known Icelanders (Some might be interested)

I'm surprised no one has been talking about the Panama Papers that made the news 2 days ago and involving the prime minister of Iceland. He has since stepped down from the job.

The prime minister of Iceland, Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson, stepped aside on Tuesday.

I don't care as long as Maggi isn't involved
