The Highland Game brings land to the fore,
Where players map choices and more.

The Icelandic Automobile Association (FIB) shows, why numeracy and basic maths skills should play an important role in any educational system. Arithmetic and logical thinking are not as simple as they seem to think... (Google-translated article of fib.is/is/um-fib/frettir/str…)

The Icelandic Met Office has stated that the probability of an eruption within the next 7-10 days is highly likely. If you are planning to the Blue Lagoon, you may want to wait to purchase those tickets.
You can follow the updates here.

Wrapping up the first night of the latest eruption in Iceland: The fissure is now about 4 km long, the northern end is east of Stóra-Skógfell & the southern end east of Sundhnúk. The distance from the southern end to the edge Grindavík is almost 3 km. vedur.is/um-vi/frettir/jards…
