For anyone wondering, Vík means bay. Which is a really nonspecific place name by itself.
That said, all the other Vík placenames in Iceland have Vík come after (Reykjavík, Húsavík, Grindavík, etc) so when you say Vík... you probably mean Vík í Mýrdal.
Definitely not Vic. Vík is a root for Viking.

The photo in this post is Fagrifoss. The waterfall that inspired the one in Avatar: The Last Airbender was Gullfoss.

Not quite. The waterfall they visit is quite literally the view from the upper viewing area of Gullfoss

Reply to comment by SliceThePi in [WP] The ritual calls for 100 sacrifices, but after reading it carefully you realize that it never specified they had to be human. Deciding to be the smartass that you are, you got a petri dish full of bacteria and sacrificed them instead. by Prompt_Dude
This makes the most sense to me, unless he is specifying something like "so small that they can't be seen." Microparasites like helminths and flukes are visible to the naked eye.

Reply to comment by CasualObserverNine in This supermarket in Hong Kong has a mini Ikea in the back by BaguetteOfDoom
When I was somewhere around eleven or so, I went to an Ikea on the opening day.
It was the first and only time so far in my entire life that I experienced claustrophobia, and I definitely had a minor panic attack.
Not a fan of seemingly endless, inescapable mazes filled with so many people I can hardly tell which direction I am moving in.
So, my measure is that if it doesn't cause a pit of dread to form in my stomach, it isn't a true Ikea.
