When I write a title such as the one you have just read, I cannot help remembering the severe critique I once wrote on an article from a colleague of mine (and certainly not of secondary importance) who, after travelling through all of Latin America during a fortnight wrote and published an extensive article on the continent, its problems and even possible solutions to those problems. I have only been for little more than ten days in Iceland. I am not aware of the problems of the place and I have of course no solutions whatever to suggest. The following pages only intend to express what the title says. “some impressions” and nothing more. However I dare say that perhaps some impressions at least may be interesting to other readers and also to a certain extent also useful to the Icelanders themselves.
