Hero Mailman Manages To Deliver Letter, Despite No Name Or Address

Only in Iceland can you address a letter with nothing more than a map, and still manage to have it delivered!

A few farmers at Hólar in Hvammsveit, West Iceland, received a strange letter at the end of March. While they likely knew exactly who it was from, the postal service did not.

The postal service also didn’t know where the letter was going or even WHO it was going to, but that didn’t stop them delivering.

When the sender didn’t know the name or address of his recipients, he simply drew a map. It showed the rough location of the unnamed farm, along with a brief description of the family living there.

This is all the information the mailman had to go by:

Country: Iceland, City: Búðardalur, Name: A horse farm with an Icelandic/Danish couple and three kids and a lot of sheep. An additional clue in the lower right-hand corner read, “The Danish woman works in a supermarket in Búðardalur.”

The letter was mailed in Reykjavík by a foreign tourist who had visited the farm earlier. They weren’t sure the letter would be delivered but stated that if it did, that would prove that in Iceland, anything is possible.

And it appears to have worked out perfectly. Way to go Iceland!
