If you have a pressing question about Iceland that you can\u2019t find the\u00a0answer to online, Iceland have now launched a \u201chuman search engine\u201d to give you personalised answers to any query\u00a0you might have about the Nordic island country.<\/p>\n

The project is called “Ask Gudmunder” and was started by the country\u2019s tourism board, Visit Iceland<\/a>,\u00a0to resolve any Iceland-related queries that cannot be found through a simple online search.<\/p>\n

\u201dAsk Gudmunder\u201d is social media based and requests that patrons post their questions directly to Facebook<\/a>\u00a0or Twitter<\/a>. The team consists of 7 people \u2013 each from one of Iceland\u2019s 7 regions who will personally respond to your questions.<\/p>\n

The tourist site reports: \u201cThis spring, we have asked some of our very finest Gu\u00f0mundurs to take on your questions about Iceland. They may not always deliver the answer you expected, but they will always give the answer you seek. So Ask Gudmundur, and you might just get an answer.\u201d<\/p>\n
