Scientist have discovered a clam living in Iceland to be the oldest living animal in the world. The team from Bangor University in Wales was dredging the waters north of Iceland as part of routine research when the unfortunate specimen, belonging to the clam species Arctica islandica, was hauled up from waters 250 feet deep. The world oldest Clam called Ming apparently is between 405 and 410 years old. So it is not only people that get old in Iceland.

Yesterday a formula 1 car was driven for the first time in Iceland. It was the Williams F1 team that graced us with their presence. Since there is no race track in Iceland they turned the parking lot of the biggest Shopping Mall in Iceland in to a tiny tiny race track the track was so small that the car could only drive 5 rounds before it would overheat. But the show was free and it was fun to see and hear a real F1 car here at last.
Miss Iceland showed up and got to sit in the car and pose for photos.  It's hard to be in the limelight you just get to have your cake no time to eat it  The wind in Iceland isn't "do" friendly   tags: f1, formula 1, Reykjavik, Iceland, Williams, car, racing, miss iceland, fast car -Kitty all right reserved- |
