Gone For Summer: Take an Audible Trip to Iceland... →

goneforsummer: I sometimes struggle with the idea of music being a production as I have grown to appreciate the rawness of certain artists. Every now and again though, it’s refreshing to hear a band that appreciates a really well crafted song both lyrically and musically. With dual male and female vocals,…

Earthquake shakes up Reykjavík

An earthquake at a magnitude of 3,7 on Richter shook up Reykjavík this morning. This is nothing to worry about, just a little bit above average. On earthquake at this scale you can feel quite strongly if you are stationary and pictures may get crooked on the walls.

I really want to get into paragliding one day. Here’s a video from Tomasz Chrapek paragliding up in the Bláfjöll (E. Blue Mountains) ski area just outside Reykjavík. Nice views on a beautiful day. I was kind of expecting him to get wrapped around that radio tower in the beginning though.

Njáls saga on Horseback →

Are you interested in travelling on horseback through the setting of Iceland’s most dramatic and popular Saga? In late June Jón Karl Helgason, assistant professor at the University of Iceland and the author of The Rewriting of Njáls Saga (1999), will be co-guiding a four day tour (3 riding days) through the setting of Njáls Saga.

But we don't have a military...

According to a study done by the Eurobarometer institute 26% of Icelanders trust the Icelandic military, 56% have little trust and 18% are undecided. This strikes as somewhat odd since Iceland has no and never has had a military of any sort.

Iceland is windy. Hanging out at the Skógasandur beach in winds around 30-40 m/s (110-140 km/h or 70-90 m/h). My own video.

inuitattackatigiit asked: Many thanks, Icelandpictures for your kind reassurance. It must be some of my own built in prejudice that made me think it'd be in Danish...I saw many Danish names on the professor list :)
I'm very intrigued by the artist-run creative culture Akureyri seems to have, and Iceland in general. It seems like it is (relatively) less godawful to try to exhibit as a professional artist,...
