Rich in natural travel wonders with large snaking glaciers, weird and wonderful rock formations from the highly active volcanoes, sulfuric thermal pools and waterfalls galore from the melting snow and glaciers, Iceland’s natural beauty, rich Norse legends and easy going nature should put it on the itinerary of any avid traveler. Expressive and energetic waterfalls seemingly tumble over every rock face in beautiful unaltered settings. Indeed, the word foss (for waterfall) is indelibly engraved in the minds of every visitor to Iceland. Many falls are unnamed yet are sufficiently impressive that many other countries would encompass them into national. With a true sense of nature, Iceland leaves their waterfalls au naturel uncluttered with fencing, restrictive paths or concrete viewing platf
Addis Fortune, by Endale Assefa Addis Ababa (Apr 22 2008) - Following the signing of a bilateral relation agreement between Ethiopia and Iceland on January 2008 to explore geothermal power potential in the rift valley region, a team of experts from Reykjavik are to engage in a bilateral geothermal survey.It would be too early to talk about the project cost, said Sendeku Araya, public relations division Head at the Ethiopian Telecommunications Corporations (EEPCo)."Ethiopia has an estimated potential of 1000mw of power from geothermal energy located in the rift region," ambassador Svavar Gestsson, especial envoy to the ministry of foreign affairs, told Fortune. He said the exact potential would be known after the actual study is conducted.The preliminary agreement between Ethiopia and Icela

The case is a study in classic big business bullying. Like similar cases in the US, SMÁÍS complained to the court about alleged copyright infringement activities on the BitTorrent site, and got a preliminary injunction, blocking the site. However, justice works swifter in Iceland than it does in the US, and after only 4 months, the case has been to court. The decision, however, was as
According to the annual United Nations report Australia is the third most desirable country to live in. This is based on a various factors such as wealth, life expectancy and educational levels. Australia came in behind top-ranking Iceland and Norway in second spot. Seriously is that our competition - Iceland or Norway? I can't imagine people saying, wouldn't it be great to live in Iceland? These surveys produce some strange results and seem to be skewed towards the smaller European countries. To me, I think as an overall package and given the current world economy Australia is the best place to be. You can choose to have a hectic lifestyle or as easily a more laid back one! Jobs are plentiful and why live a long life if you can't enjoy it. 360 days of sunshine a year in Australia as compared to 100 or so in Iceland! Enough said. If I was to pick 2 alternatives based on lifestyle, economy and future prospects - I would say New Zealand or Spain would be my next 2 choices. W

I simply love Sigur Rós. Their music is at once captivating, haunting, and achingly beautiful. It’s no surprise then that their soundtrack - complete with music box chimes and odd mechanical noises - is a perfect complement to the eerie, alien landscape of the new Icelandic video, entitled Heima:

There is a sure fire-way to cure yourself of boredom, joblessness and that nagging feeling that you should possibly be doing more with yourself and engaging with reality, and that's by doing the exact opposite of that and escaping reality.And for an Australian, there really isn't anywhere further away you could go than Iceland - actually, from this cool little page, the exact opposite side of the Earth to Sydney is in the middle of the Atlantic - the opposite to Iceland is down near Antarctica below New Zealand - but my point remains...

Lennon widow completed couples aspiration peace minaret built in IcelandThe evening of October 9, Lennon widow Yoko Ono design and construction of the "Imagine Peace" minaret in the Icelandic capital, Reykjavik opening.
Yoko Ono, the Japanese-American wife of the late Beatles star, John Lennon, will unveil the Imagine Peace Tower in Rekjavik, Iceland on October 9th. This date would have been the 67th birthday of Lennon who was killed by a mentally ill fanback in 1980.
Ono said, “This is something that we spoke about 40 years ago. Our dream is finally coming true,” said Ono, 74, in an interview with the Associated Press (courtesy of The Showbuzz/CBS). According to AP, “The Imagine Peace Tower is a stories-tall beam of light that will emanate from a wishing well bearing the words “imagine peace” in 24 languages.” The tower’s light will shine from Oct. 9 to Dec. 8 each year, “so it has the feeling of the shortness of life, but the light is eternal,” Ono said.
Ono came up with the light tower concept in 1965, and John Lennon was interested.
The AP article reports, “When she turned 70, Ono decided she needed a place to keep the thousand
It's disappointing when someone who lives in exactly the place you want to visit doesn't reply to a home exchange offer. So, when Paul, a recent Home Base Holidays member from Southport, England, let us know he hadn't heard back from a member in Iceland, I replied with a number of reasons why the member might not have responded, e.g. he could be away and not checking email regularly or may have overlooked the exchange offer message if it was filed in a junk folder by mistake. I also gave Paul some suggestions for improving the response rate to messages sent to members, including ideas for writing an enticing, personalised and informative exchange offer message. I had asked him to forward his offer message so that I could re-send it to the member in Iceland. On reading Paul's forwarded message, I knew it shouldn't be any fault of his that he hadn't received a reply.
Paul's exchange offer message was excellent. The only small point I would make is that he could have included a
Iceland will have the greenest transport of any country soon. They are experimenting with having cars and buses using hydrogen. Already, the country’s electricity and heating comes from hydroelectric and geothermal springs that are in abundance in Iceland. But for cars they have to transport overseas and the result is $8 a gallon.
So Iceland will invest heavily in hydrogen technologies. Hydrogen is produced with water and electricity and Iceland has much of both. Car companies such as General Motors, Toyota, and Daimler Chrysler, are using the island-nation as a testing ground.
Pictured here is the Mercedes Benz A-class F-cell. It is an electric car powered by a fuel cell which generates electricity by converting hydrogen and oxygen into water. Right now there are a few buses in the capital Reykjavik, but by 2010 the people of Iceland will be able to purchase one. Within a year local energy company employees and a Hertz will get to drive them. Maybe you can go to Iceland as tourist a
Sweden vs Denmark, 1430 ESTRåsunda - SolnaDespite a game-in-hand, the Danes are desperate for a win as they travel to Solna to take on the group-leading Swedes. This is of course a rematch of the June 2nd fixture, when a fan came on the field and attacked the ref, costing Denmark the match and potentially three points. Even a draw for Denmark would keep their hopes alive as they play four of their remaining five matches at home.Meanwhile, a win for Sweden would all but assure them advancement. Lead by the enigmatic one, Zlatan Ibrahimović, they have a relative healthy side and we could even see the return of captain Fredrik Ljungberg. Also after suffering through a six game winless streak they've rebounded with three straight wins.It's pretty clear what Denmark has to do here, come out with all guns blazing, though it's hard to say whether they have the arsenal to penetrate the Swedish side. We also don't know which side will show up, the one that beat Germany 1-0 in a frien

Earth-centred news for the health of air, water, habitat and the fight against global warming
This is the sort of incentive that all cities should be taking up. New parking regulations in the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik. Means that cars that are considered to be eco friendly will be able to park in the center of the capital for free.
It is estimated that the total number cars that will be applicable is only 1,400 this is out of 230,747, which is less than one per cent.
For a car to be considered eco friendly it has to pass the eco test, this means the car must consume less than five liters of fuel per 100 km. Cars that qualify are to be given a special disc that is placed on the inside of the window screen.

that of the 103 000 square kilometres of land that makes up Iceland,
11% is covered in glaciers, 64% in wasteland (cooled lava flows mainly,
giving it a desolate "moon-like" appearance) and 2% by lakes, leaving
only around 23% for vegetation. This fact, and its isolation, mean that
there are relatively few people living in Iceland.

Picture of the Week: Reykjavik, IcelandThis picture was taken at NASA in Reykjavik Iceland on November 18, 2006. DP One was spinning at the biggest club in Iceland. Turned out he didn't even know it was happening on the way there. Neither did we til we saw posters for the event plastered across the city. NASA is one of the biggest clubs in Iceland. The turnout was small, but the dancing... who knew they had B-Boys in Iceland?
We’ve finally arrived in the port of Reykjavik in Iceland!!! Let’s have a look around just around the harbor and along the nearest shore!
Our second stop is going to the Blue Lagoon spa with geothermal seawater from wells 2000 m (6000 feet) deep and a temperature of 36-39°C (100-110°F) filled with silica, minerals salts and blue green algae. Oh, so refreshing to float around there!
Next off to the nationalpark Thingvellir and Þingvallavatn (prounanced like th) which is a lake with a surface of 84 km² - the biggest (natural) lake of the island. Its greatest depth is 114 m and the large quantity of sulfur and salt, makes the lake extremely light and the water seems to be in less weight than other lakes. At the northern shore of the lake the parliament of Iceland, Alþingi, which was founded in the year of 930 - one of the oldest parliamentary institutions of the world!
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge runs through Iceland there too and it’s clearly visible.

I don’t know what it is about fruits and vegetables with me lately. First, it was bananas in Turkey, then lemons in Bulgaria, and just recently I recalled this story about carrots in Iceland!
At the beginning of December, Bipin and I flew to Iceland to attempt the record for the piggyback mile. Everything had been arranged at the last minute so although our friend, Snatak, was happy to have us stay at his place, he hadn’t had any time to prepare for us. The morning after we arrived, he had to run off to work, but kindly told us that we were welcome to anything in the frig. There wasn’t much. I found some yogurt, some cheese and, no exaggeration, about 20 pounds of carrots!
Wintertime in Iceland is pretty rough. Being so far north, the island only gets a few hours of sunlight a day and the darkness can become oppressive. Knowing that eating carrots helps to improve eyesight, my hypothesis was that Icelandic people must eat tons of carrots to improve their night vision. When I aske
