Northern Iceland 2010

This is probably the strangest bakery you'll ever see.  Geothermal activity in this part of Iceland makes the ground quite hot just under the surface.  Folks around here just dig a hole, put their bread dough in plastic bags or containers, cover the hole with a lid and rocks to hold in the steam, and come back in 12-24 hours.  The dense bread that results is actually delicious!
