I would expect this either way, but I don't know for sure. Maybe the next
time I get over to the big library I can check.

There has been a significant US military presence in Iceland for over 50
years, I think. I don't know how many US-ans are stationed there but I
reckon it must be more than 1% of the entire Iceland population.
