## Groovy Baby! Flashback to the 70s in Reykjavik
Reykjavik in the 1970s? Picture this: a vibrant city nestled on the Icelandic coast, buzzing with a unique blend of Nordic tradition and burgeoning global influences. While the city boasted its Viking heritage with the National and Saga museums, the 70s saw a surge in artistic expression and a growing connection to the wider world. Think flares, folk music, and the first whispers of the punk rock revolution echoing across the North Atlantic.
While the iconic Hallgrimskirkja church, with its stark concrete beauty, already dominated the skyline, offering breathtaking views, imagine experiencing it without the modern hustle and bustle. The Perlan, that magnificent glass dome, wasn't yet a glimmer in an architect's eye. But the raw, natural beauty of Iceland, the very essence that draws visitors today, was just as captivating. The geothermal wonders of the Blue Lagoon, steaming away near Grindavik, offered the same otherworldly escape, a chance to soak in the warmth while surrounded by volcanic landscapes.
