Unlike many countries #Iceland has intermissions in #Cinemas. So I am in the middle of #Furiosa. The annoying thing is they aren't good at timing these things. Sometimes they seem to be sto…

While my own country #Iceland has been a disgrace regarding #Gaza and #Palestine, just following our glorious leader the USA,

I just had an idea: Icelandic Moss mead!
Since I shouldn't start another hobby, is there anyone practicing #meadmaking willing to try this?

Icelandic government grants new license to whaling company to hunt 128 fin whales
The Icelandic government has granted a whaling license to commercial whaling company Hvalur, despite previously suspending its operations due to animal welfare concerns. On June 11, the government announced that Bjarkey Olsen Gunnarsdóttir, Iceland’s minister of food, agriculture and fisheries, had granted a license for the 2024 whaling season, permitting Hvalur to hunt 99 vulnerable […]

It is that time again. #PresidentialElections ... in #Iceland. There are no term limits here so many of the previous presidents have stayed in office for 12, 16 or even 20 years.

Tomorrow #Iceland will elect a new president. There are quite a few candidates. From what I've seen many voters will vote strategically against one candidate instead of their own favorite candidate. This is not ideal.
The solution is simple. #RankedVoting. If I really liked some…

The government of #Iceland is buying up houses in the town of #Grindavík because of all the #VolcanicEruptions nearby. The owners have to clean these houses before they hand th…

Snow joke: Icelandic glacier makes presidential bid - Positive News
The campaign to put Snæfellsjökull on the ballot, though ultimately unsuccessful, has boosted awareness of environmental stewardship

I have become the kind of person that shows up to vote less than an hour after the polls have opened. It is at most a five minute walk from my home so it isn't difficult to do.
I finally decided who I should vote for as president of #Iceland after reading what the candidates said about #Gaza

Last week I was walking along and I noticed that my shadow was quite long. I took a photo and you can just make out the "head".
A rough estimate from the length of the buildings indicates that the shadow is about 70m (230 feet) in length.

When I was growing up #English was not yet ubiquitous in #Iceland and access to spoken English was limited so there was a certain peculiarity in the pronunciation of sone words and phrases.

It's #VolcanicEruption time again. The last one lasted quite some time and sort of faded away recently and this one seems a direct sequel.
I don't think there is any real danger to people.

As we grapple with the escalating climate crisis, the temptation to lean on technological fixes is understandable. But can we truly engineer our way out of this? It's a complex question that deserves our attention. 🌍 💡 #ClimateCrisis #Geoengineering
In #Iceland, a project called #Mammoth aims to capture CO2 directly from the air, using geothermal energy. This could be a game-changer, yet it only scratches the surface of global emissions. 🇮🇸 🌬️#CarbonCapture #Innovation
Despite the promise of carbon capture, critics argue it distracts from urgent actions like reducing fossil fuel use. Can we afford to focus on costly tech that may not scale in time? 🤔 💰 #ClimateAction #SustainableFuture
Occidental Petroleum's Texas project plans to capture CO2 for oil extraction. This paradox highlights a major issue: Can we depend on the oil industry to lead the fight against climate change? 🛢️ 🚫 #FossilFuels #ClimateChange
Let's not forget, our past "solutions" have led us here. As we consider new climate interventions, it's crucial we weigh the ethical, environmental, and practical implications. The clock is ticking. ⏳ 🌏 #ActNow #ClimateEthics
