Icelandic horses type out
out-of-office replies
on an outdoor keyboard -
freeing travelers to disconnect completely

The agency Peel Iceland
created hoof-friendly keyboards and scripted
the visual scene of horses
typing across Icelandic landscapes.



During the early days of the Internet
the Icelandic tourist board
registered the domain
when it was still available

They did not need to aquired it
froma Domain Investor
or a company
using Visit Iceland.com
for a seperate project

It took 5 years to launch the website
but owning the VisitIceland.com
domain since 1999
demonstrates that
Iceland is an internet savvy country.

Every national Tourist Board
in the Nordic countries
as well as many Nordic cities
use the same pattern.

The Nordic countries include
Denmark including Greenland
