  I was there at Keflavik in 1958 and 1959. Was not allowed to leave the base for reasons I never did understand, but all I saw was a desolate, black, volcanic area with not a trace of green. It probably would have been a nice place to visit had I not been in the military. I have talked to people that have been there since and they seemed to enjoy it very much. The winter months were just horrible with all the wind and sleet.
