Hafnarfjarðarkaupstaður, Iceland, is a town of 30,000 souls built on a lava field, just south of the island nation's capital city of Reykjavik. If sightseers come this way, it's for tours of the homes of local "hidden folk"—the dwarfs and elves of the Norse fairy tales that inspired J.R.R. Tolkien.
