“Icelanders have been arguing about
whales since retired Vikings settled the island
in the 9th Century. Lately, whalers on
the one hand, and whale-watching guides
on the other, have been arguing whether
whaling is a danger to the livelihood of
whale-watching guides.”
Whale hunting has resumed this year and
the debate about it rages on

“That year, Iceland became the first of
the Nordic countries to be Guest of Honour
at the Frankfurt Book Fair, boasting
the motto: “Fabulous Iceland.” At the
same time, Reykjavík was designated as
a UNESCO City of Literature.”

“At this point, the hipsters of Reykjavík
know very well how they have been presented
to the outside world. Journalists
from fancy magazines have come here, perceived
us as a bit wacky, quite uninhibited,
extremely creative, and waxed poetic about
it all to readers across the world.”
Is hipster place-marketing really accurate,
or are we just playing the part

“As we approach the water, the band
asks if I have any bread to feed the ducks.
“Bread” I say. “BREAD Are you trying to
kill these birds””
