Iceland's geothermal heat has inspired a number of local traditions. Among them is lava bread, a sweet rye loaf baked in metal pots that are buried in volcanic sand. (hereandnow)
Siggi Hilmarsson says the traditional way to eat lava bread is with butter, boiled eggs and smoke trout or salmon.
The so-called"Ring of Fire" region of Iceland, Hilmarsson explains, is a volcanic hotbed punctuated by tectonic cracks that allow hot water to rise up through the water and soil. And if the baths nourish the soul — and he assures us that they do — another Icelandic tradition, he says, nourishes the body. It's called both lava or volcano bread.
Hilmarsson takes half a dozen eggs and places them in a divot in the sand where the water immediately boils around them. The traditional way to eat the bread, he explains, is topped with butter, boiled eggs and smoke trout or salmon. He says the farmers who populate the area are affected in a number of ways. For one, some trees are growing faster, while others that have long thrived in the area are no longer growing.
