How can  one interpret Iceland as being "at the edge of the universe"? Iceland is closer than New York is. An Island at the edge of the universe would probably mean a planet a few stops after Pluto. Maybe he got "Universe" and "Artic" circle mixed up in the interpretation. If the was imminent, then it would be pointless going to Iceland. That is a bit like being on an aeroplane that runs out of fuel in mid air and then saying "I'm going to sit in first class, I'll be safe there".
 If he would have gone to a deserted island in the Pacific or to a cave in the Himalayas then he may have have had a chance of escaping a mini apocalypse, but going to Iceland would nt have helped him one iota. We have a cold weather front coming down from Iceland as we speak, it is not that far away.Iceland is an island on the edge of Europe, rather than an Island at the edge of the Universe.

Apparently the bible or something talks about an "island at the edge of the universe" that was safe, so Jaz and Geordie interpreted it as Iceland (he's said this in interviews).

Always intrigued me - just out of interest, why would Iceland be the safest place to ensconce oneself in the event of an apocalypse, did they research this fully or was it a case of 'that will do'? Is it a relatively self sufficient land mass? - any Icelandic's on this list?
