I hope you are having a great weekend!

I visited Grindavík yesterday. The town is mostly empty at this time with many houses damaged by the recent earthquakes and volcanic activity in the area. It was quiet for 800 years, but has been active on and off the last few years.

I am saddened to see the state of the town. I always feel a fondness for Grindavík. My grandmother lived there with her parents and siblings and she always talked about how much she loved living there. Same applies to a member of the Vivaldi team, who had to leave town with his family when the eruptions started.

What has been wonderful to see and impressive is how people have worked together to deal with these events. Massive walls have been erected to keep the lava from entering town and the neighboring power plant and Blue Lagoon. When lava has flowed across roads, new roads have been built. When the parking lot at the Blue Lagoon got flooded with lava, a new one was quickly created.

You cannot control these massive forces, but in Iceland they have learned to at least impact them to reduce the damage. Impressive.

Mo's Iceland photos

Altocumulus Lenticularis Islandica

A warm day, low 20s Centigrade and a clear sky. A stiff breeze blowing in across the southern sea brings moisture which rises above the mountains, cools, and forms beautiful cloud structures over the glaciers.

Kambhorn (650m/2132ft) and Klifatindur (847m/2279ft) Lónsfjörður¹ in eastern #Iceland.

A colour photo of a seascape under a mostly clear deep cyan sky. The viewpoint is coastal grassland dotted with boulders and a stretch of still blue sea on the left. The mountains rising from scree slopes on the right have layered and rounded clouds hanging above them, casting shadows onto the bare rocky flanks. It's oddly beautiful.

„Citing Gaza war crimes, Iceland's foreign minister said Israel's inclusion in Eurovision was 'strange and unnatural,' stopping short of calling for a boycott. Public broadcasters in Spain and Slovenia have also urged a union-wide debate.“

Keldur ist ein jahrhundertealtes Gehöft in Südisland, bekannt für seine gut erhaltenen Torfhäuser, die teilweise auf das 12. Jhd zurückgehen und als älteste Wohnhäuser Islands gelten. Die Anlage liegt idyllisch an einem Bach, umgeben von der weiten Landschaft und mit Blick auf den Vulkan Hekla. Neben den grasbewachsenen Häusern steht die kleine Kirche Keldnakirkja aus dem 19. Jhd. Keldur ist eng mit der isländischen Geschichte und Literatur verbunden, u.a. durch Erwähnungen in der Njáls Saga.
