..., the makeup we wear, the new sofas we sit on, or the environments in which we dwell. Without doubt, we also become more acutely aware today of how we are in nature, and nature, polluted as it may be, is in us.

The natural harbor provided safe moorings for one of the biggest fishing industries in the country, close to the rich fishing grounds along the southern coast of Iceland.
