90,000 actually sounds like a lot on its own... but if you consider that Icelanders only number 300.000 the number becomes quite gargantuan. It would be the equivalent of approx. 85 million Americans at one concert. Basically, we’re talking about more than half the population old enough to go and young enough to give a damn.
