Litrík Stormur, une tempête de couleurs dans la nuit islandaise ! Au mois de mars dernier, le photographe français Stéphane Vetter a filmé en Islande des aurores boréales d’une intensité et d’une coloration exceptionnelles. Une tempête de couleurs s’abat sur le site de Þingvellir en Islande le 17 mars avant l’aube. © Stéphane Vetter Le 15 mars 2015, la tache solaire numérotée AR2297 a été le siège d’une éruption qui a propulsé dans l’espace une grosse bouffée de particules. Ce n’était pas, et de loin, l’éruption la plus violente produite par cette tache depuis son apparition sur le limbe solaire une dizaine de jours auparavant. Pourtant, contrairement aux autres, cette giclée de particules a foncé droit vers notre planète et, le 17 mars, son interaction avec le champ magnétique terrestre et avec la haute atmosphère a engendré le plus puissant orage magnétique depuis une décennie.

Introduction to Icelandic Cooking and Recipes. Welcome to my family recipe book and cooking page. And now on to more pleasant matters: The recipes you will find here are traditional Icelandic recipes that have been passed on from generation to generation, newer recipes that are special to me because of the memories attached to them, old ones I have improved on, or new ones I have invented. Some are only marginally Icelandic, but as they represent what we like to eat in my family, I've included them anyway. There is not a whole lot of food that can be called specifically Icelandic.
Most of the recipes we use in Iceland have been adapted from other cuisines, most noticeably from the Danish, but also the French, Italian and American, to name just a few. Modern Icelandic cuisine is based on local ingredients, specifically lamb and seafood, but often with some exotic additions and influences. Webcams sur toute l'île.

Sheep farmers in Árneshreppur dristrict, Westfjords, headed to nearby mountains on New Year‘s Eve in their second attempt to rescue a small flock of sheep that had been stuck in Ófeigsfjörður fjord since late autumn. The farmers had to drive for an hour and then hike 8 kilometres (5 miles) uphill to reach the sheep. “This is not our standard equipment when rounding up sheep,” farmer Davíð Már Bjarnason told the National Broadcasting Service.
Icelandic Language Blog: Language and Culture of the Icelandic-Speaking World. Icelandic sagas are an unusual feature in Medieval literature for several reasons. The most obvious one is that they mostly take part in Iceland and tell of ordinary people who, although heads of the society of their time, still are little more than rich farmers. There’s an amusing way people describe sagas here in Iceland - bændur að berjast (= farmers fighting) – which literally is what happens in all of them, although the farmers in question do part-time as warriors and when they get angry limbs go missing left and right. Another reason that makes them unusual is the sheer volume of them that still exist to this day. Icelandic manuscripts can thank one man for their survival – Árni Magnússon – whose groundbreaking attitude in saga collecting of the 1700′s meant that every piece, no matter how small, was kept and stored.
The third thing that sets the Icelandic manuscripts apart from the rest is the language. Perhaps it’s because the reality is far more complicated than that.

The scene in Iceland. Basil Tsiokos The Gothenburg Film Festival – the largest of its kind in Scandinavia – has always had a special emphasis on the cinema created in the Nordic countries, with its main competition being exclusive to films from the region. This year the festival placed a further emphasis on the Nordic country with the smallest population: Iceland. Not only were there two films in competition, but the festival presented a repertory slate of Icelandic films from the past two decades, a concert featuring the band Hjaltalín, a seminar about the country’s filmmaking and a special Icelandic themed party. Furthermore, the festival has created a new honorary award to celebrate an important filmmaking voice from the North — and its first recipient was Baltasar Kormákur, director of such Icelandic language films such as "101 Reykjavik," "The Deep" and "Jar City" — along with the Hollywood action films "Contraband" and "2 Guns.
