    Tips

    June 22, 2024

    Iceland's lupins, native to Alaska, were introduced after World War II to address the country's serious erosion problems. Known for their soil-enriching properties and strong roots, these plants thrived in the Icelandic climate and quickly spread throughout the country. Although initially successful in slowing erosion and providing ecological benefits, their uncontrolled spread led to an ecological challenge. Despite this, lupins have become an iconic symbol of the Icelandic summer, providing a dramatic contrast to the country's harsh volcanic landscapes.
