Ever since the crash the anger has been brewing. We'll be uploading a video giving a feel for the atmosphere. Needless to say people are very angry. Angry at the politicians and the financial wizards who charmed us all, angry that nobody seems to really take the responsibility.

Following are a few pictures BloggingReykjavik style showing the proceedings. A picture is worth a 1000 words. Comments are welcome










- Banners read from top left to bottom right, loosely translated : Solutions without violence, Let's stop the corruption!, New Iceland now!, Lets stop paying!, Bloody f##ing f##k!, treason without intent is still treason, take responsability now, stop IMF, the ocean resources should belong to the people.

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.

Just outside of Reykjavik is a nice salmon fishing river. The river is supposed to be superb for fishing, and is one of the favored spots for the sports fishing crowd. In the short while I stopped by the salmon seemed quite eager to join in the game. The fishermen seemed to enjoy the fishing but also found time to relax.
