Along the road, In the south of Iceland, near the Bay of Holtsós is a small cave.
The cave is not very deep: little more than an alcove. It is so shallow, in fact that it gets enough light that the entirety of the cave is overgrown with ferns and moss. The small grotto is gated, with a man-door, no doubt: to prevent people from driving their vehicles into the cave.
On the exterior of the gate are two signs.
One sign is a hand written, haphazardly cut white sign that reads, in fading ink, “NO CAMPING!’
Beside it, is a professionally illustrated, multilingual graphic sign that illustrates and reads, “NO HUMAN WASTE”.
I’ve never been one for scatalogical humor, but the dichotomy and priority of investment between these two signs, posted on a natural formation, amuses me and was the highlight of the visit to the cave.
