Sorry, I have a "thing" for northern climes and oceans. I'm just totally transfixed by the idea of finding the fun for a kid in a place like that.
I'm kinda jealous, actually
Does she like poetry? Oh, man, there's this storry about a poet stuck on a skerry near Icland, "badly off for clothing" -- he invents a verse-form called "shivering verse." The story is in the Hattatal section of The Younger Edda, which is a thousand year old textbook of Old Norse Poetry. It would need interpretation for a kid that age/level, and there's only one english translation (you need the Faulks trans, it's like 10$), but the word-games you could play!
Shutting up now.
I have an obsessive streak
