"Iceland is full of álagablettir, or enchanted spots, places you don’t touch – just like the fairy forts and peat bogs in Ireland. They’re protected by stories about the bad things that will happen if you do."

Yes it's probably all a bit bonkers*. But if it makes people think twice before ploughing a road through some amazing bit of landscape then I don't mind. The road in the article had been held up for eight years!

*If any elves are listening, I don't mean this.
