Lonely Planet review for Fríkirkjan í Reykjavík

The old town's mid-18th-century houses demonstrate the Icelandic talent for adaptation. In a country devoid of building materials, most are made from driftwood (which floated from Siberia and South America) and covered in sheets of corrugated tin to protect them from the elements. Even churches, such as the Fríkirkjan í Reykjavík, were made the same way. By happy chance, this light construction method also makes the buildings pretty earthquake-proof.
