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. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <img src="http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/44203000/jpg/_44203027_clam_bangor_203.jpg" alt="" /><br /> <em>Picture credit BBC </em><br /> <br /> <br /> - The Thor <strong>all rights reserved</strong> Blogging Reykjavik nospam@example.com (The Thor) Photo, Text, Wildlife Reykjavik, 2007-10-29T06:00:00Z http://www.bloggingreykjavik.net/wfwcomment.php?cid=234 1 http://www.bloggingreykjavik.net/rss.php?version=1.0&type=comments&cid=234 http://www.bloggingreykjavik.net/archives/232-Play-of-light-August-sunset.html Some wonderful play of light<br /> <br /> <br /> <img src="http://www.bloggingreykjavik.net/images/Aug07/sunset1.jpg" alt="" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://www.bloggingreykjavik.net/images/Aug07/sunset2.jpg" alt="" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://www.bloggingreykjavik.net/images/Aug07/sunset3.jpg" alt="" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://www.bloggingreykjavik.net/images/Aug07/sunset4.jpg" alt="" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://www.bloggingreykjavik.net/images/Aug07/sunset5.jpg" alt="" /><br /> <br /> <img src="http://www.bloggingreykjavik.net/images/Aug07/sunset6.jpg" alt="" /><br /> These houses don't have their lights on, this is a reflection of the sunset. <br /> <br /> <font size=-2>house, sunset, Reykjavik, wonderful, Iceland, light, </font><br /> <br /> - The Thor <strong>all rights reserved</strong> Blogging Reykjavik nospam@example.com (The Thor) Photo, 2007-08-02T20:39:37Z http://www.bloggingreykjavik.net/wfwcomment.php?cid=232 9 http://www.bloggingreykjavik.net/rss.php?version=1.0&type=comments&cid=232 http://www.bloggingreykjavik.net/archives/231-show-me-a-sign-few-more.html Few signs.
