Hi Daniele! I'm fine, thanks. I hope you're well, too. I joined the mission and will add all my Iceland spottings.

Daniele, I think that's exactly what it is. All the characteristics match and it also occurs in Iceland. Many thanks!

Meik, it reminds me of Parnassia palustris. It's found in the wet areas of the Alps. I'm not sure it's found in Iceland but you may want to check it out...
