Keywords: Iceland, fur, second-hand clothing
I traveled to Iceland during the Christmas vacation. I have been dreaming of going to this place since I was 16 years old, but I was still a little timid when I actually set foot on this land. The heavy snow and white sky finally calmed down my impetuous mood. The spectacular natural scenery and the cold wind at the northern tip of the earth shocked me beyond measure.
在圣诞假的时候我去了冰岛旅游，从16岁就一直梦想着想去的地方，在真正踏上这片土地的时候还是有些胆怯的。漫天的大雪和白茫茫一片让我浮躁的心情总算静了下来。壮观的自然风景和地球北端凛冽的风让我无比震撼。
But during this journey, I noticed that Iceland’s clothing industry is mostly based on fur and down jackets. When walking around downtown Reykjavik, it's hard not to notice the second-hand clothing shops here. A large part of it is made of fur. In China, wearing animal fur is considered a status symbol, but in recent years, people's ideas have gradually changed. More and more people are promoting the purpose of protecting animals, and artificial fur is gradually being promoted. They are cheap and look just like real fur. Speaking of fur clothing in Iceland, Icelanders have a long history of wearing fur due to climate and cultural background, so it is not difficult to understand that their fur industry is developed. Here is a link to the official website of the old Icelandic brand Feldur.(https://www.feldur.is/about-2/the-fur/)
但是在这段旅程中，我注意到冰岛的服装业多以皮草和羽绒服为主。在雷克雅未克市中心散步时，很难不注意到这里的二手服装店铺。里面的很大一部分都是皮草。在中国，穿动物皮毛被认为是身份的象征，但是近几年，人们的观念逐渐改变了。宣扬保护动物主旨的人越来越多，人造皮草逐渐被推崇，它们价格低廉，看起来和真的皮草无异。说回冰岛的皮草服装，因为气候和文化背景原因，冰岛人穿皮草的历史悠久，所以也不难理解他们的皮草业发达。这里附上一个冰岛的老品牌feldur的官网link，（https://www.feldur.is/about-2/the-fur/）
Fur has a long history. This article briefly introduces the history of fur. "The Evolution of Fur: A Brief History Of Fur and Faux Fur Garments - Jenn O." The service life of a good quality animal fur is about 50 years. , which means that if properly protected, this piece of fur may last you a lifetime. After trying some on, I found that the thermal insulation properties of fur are indeed impressive. Even in sub-zero temperatures, I started to feel hot after walking for a while.
皮草的历史悠久，在这篇文章里简要介绍了皮草的历史“The Evolution of Fur: A Brief History Of Fur and Faux Fur Garments - Jenn O.”（https://pandemoniumhats.com/blogs/news/the-evolution-of-fur-a-brief-history-of-fur-and-faux-fur-garments) 一件质量好的动物皮草的使用年限在50年左右，也就是说保护得当的话这件皮草可能可以跟随你一生。在试穿了一些之后我发现，皮草的保暖性能的确是令人刮目相看，在零下的温度能让我走一会儿就开始感到热了。
In addition to fur, the main clothing choice for Icelanders in winter is down jackets. Among them, the local brand 66 Degrees North is famous all over the world. (https://www.66north.com/uk) Interested readers can click this link here ~
