Here is a link to an article and trailer for the documentary 'Dreamland' - a look in to the fight for Iceland's natural world. Iceland has become the target of corporations wanting to extract their natural resources for profit, most notably aluminum. This documentary, much like 'Tapped', shows how the local people feel about other people deciding what is best for the natural resources they live near.
My personal view is there is no price you can put on the beauty of a country. But countries must be able to do what is best for most of its residents. Iceland has been hit hard by the global recession for the past two years. And although through hydroelectric and geothermal power that can support its countries energy needs, they have very little natural resources. Many people have been moving to Norway to escape the economic crisis. This is a tough situation for all.
