Description
This photo shows the turf houses of Glamber Iceland and the parsonage steeple in the background. Turf houses served for hundreds of years as dwellings for settlers in the northern regions of Iceland. Made by stacking layers of sod and connected by interior hallways; they were dark, damp abodes without running water or electricity.
