I don't plan to do this, but would it make a lot of sense to move to Iceland?

What are the pros and cons of living there?

Pros: It's easy to keep the beer cold.

Cons: Not very much authentic Texas BBQ or Mexican food.

Isn't it weird that Iceland is mostly green, and Greenland is mostly ice.

Why exactly do you want to move to Iceland?

Active volcanos. Not sure if that's a pro or a con, though.

You wouldn't get that fancy home cooking in Iceland that you would, in Texas.

That sounds fun.

They have that hotel made entirely of ice, which sounds awesome.

I thought that was in Sweden.

Perhaps there's more than one, though...
