Icelanders are opening their homes to visitors, as part of a new tourism campaign — and leading the way is the country&#8217;s president. Watch this video above.

		<description><![CDATA[Today is the 10th anniversary of 9/11. With all the commemorations, tie-ins and, in some cases, blatant profiteering (fancy some 9/11 memorial wine priced at $19.11? ), I don&#8217;t think many people have failed to pick up on this.
