Hay That Looks Like Marshmallows
As you traverse Iceland’s scenic routes, it’s common to come across what appear to be giant marshmallows, painted in various colors, including pink, white, green, and even black, scattered across the landscape. You might even feel tempted to pull over and indulge in what seems like a delightful campfire treat.
But here’s the twist: these aren’t marshmallows; farmers carefully wrap bales of hay in plastic to extend their shelf life and keep them fresh for up to three years. This hay represents a significant agricultural harvest in Iceland and is primarily intended as fodder for cattle, rather than a sweet surprise for curious tourists!
