Sydney's ~Iceland~ Informational research 😩 by Sydney Choi https://padlet.com/27_sydney_choi/hfprjqc9yvo9 Research for Me! en-us 2018-10-16 01:25:35 UTC 2018-11-16 01:09:46 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/305547986/5bbb1f7a8f55bda70cac0ccc1257006a/images.png Region 27_sydney_choi https://padlet.com/27_sydney_choi/hfprjqc9yvo9/wish/293126959 The traditional Icelandic clothes are the Peysufot [Female] and the Pjoobuningur Karla [Male]. The Pjoobuningur Karla consists woolen breeches or trousers, a double buttoned vest and a double buttoned jacket called a treyja. A tail cap is usually worn as a headdress but there are a variety of head pieces. The Peysufot consists a long dress or a long twirl skirt, and a jacket, or a skirt, apron, shirt and est. There are 2 headpieces. One is a very high head piece. It is always white and it can be a conical form but curved forward. It can be flat but curved forward. This headpiece is made of linen or very thin wool. It is often decorated with thin gold wire bands. http://nationalclothing.org/europe/19-iceland/14-national-costume-of-iceland-shoes-of-fish-skin,-high-curved-headpieces,-ruffs-and-floral-ornaments.html

Iceland did not have any bread or grains so bread was only eaten by the wealthy and it was very rare. Now you can eat bread in Iceland normally. It has normal prices and is specially made. Some bakers in Iceland bake bread with lava. They make some batter  with flour, sugar, baking powder, and milk.They dig 16 inches below the surface and puts in the pot with a lid with the batter.
The ground is a 100*.  You have to leave the bread for 24 hours so it bakes. Soon f you pull the pot out, you will see perfect bread. This bread can be eaten with eggs and pepper, salmon, cheese, and butter. It also can be eaten by itself. https://guidetoiceland.is/history-culture/food-in-iceland

Icelandians mostly eat  lamb,seafood, and dairy. They eat lots of seafood due to the large sea around them.  Icelandic people even eat shark meat. They also eat whales. And Puffins. People in Iceland eat scary stuff too. There is this festival where they celebrate their old days. When it is time to eat in the festival, they serve fermented shark, pickled ram's testicles, and boiled sheep HEADS. THat sounds more like a meal monsters or dinos eat in a horror movie.[And I thought Iceland was fantastic!]. https://guidetoiceland.is/history-culture/food-in-iceland

OK, I was wrong about the whole "You can only eat scary stuff in the festival"thing. I found out that disgusting menu can be found all over Iceland!!!! https://www.dangerous-love business.com/2012/03/14-fun-facts-about-iceland/

"Iceland is a Eco-Friendly country. And the kicker is they don't even try very hard! The entire country is alive with volcanic activity, the nation harnesses hydro and geothermal energy to 80% of the country. Not many fossil fuels are burned there. Also, most homes are warmed by hot water that is pumped up beneath towns and cities."          https://www.dangerous-business.com/2012/03/14-fun-facts-about-iceland/

Iceland was originally made by a underground volcano. So there are LOTS of  pools that are heated by the volcano in  Iceland. So that proves Iceland is a volcanic Island! The most interesting thing is most volcanic Islands have black sand [like Jeju] But Iceland has red, white, orange, and yellow sand [Raudisandur Beach].
{Got this information from me. I read a book in Third grade but I don't remember the title!}.
