The ambassador from Argentina to Ecuador has been reassigned to Panama. He is very sad, because the climate of Argentina and the climate of Iceland are somewhat non-identical. He has therefore asked his predecessor’s secretary to send him some information about "Islandia," a word which probably appears very early in the message. Of course, the plaintext is in Spanish.

Good luck!
