  • Around Iceland
    Trip Log 24th May – 1st June 2006 Around Iceland ON BOARD PROFESSOR MULTANOVSKIY The Professor Multanovskiy is an ex-research vessel from the Arctic and Antarctic Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia. She was built in 1985 in Finland, and was designed as an ice strengthened ship. She measures 71.6 metres (236 ft) in length and 12.8 metres (42 ft) across the beam. She draws 4.5 metres (15 ft) which enables her to move into relatively shallow waters. Her tonnage is 2140t. Oceanwide Expeditions is fully responsible for the management and operation of the Professor Multanovskiy. Professor Boris Pompeevich Multanovskiy was born in Russia in 1876. He was a famous long-range weather forecaster. Not only did he have a ship named after him, but also a beautiful mountain on the Kamchatka Peninsula. He died in 1938. With Captain Igor Stetsun and his crew of 19 from St. Petersburg, Russia Expedition Leader: Rolf Stange (Geographer), Germany Guide/Lecturer: Dagný Indriđadóttir (Folklorist), Iceland Guide/Lecturer: Ian Stone (Historian), Isle of Man Purser: Juliette Corssen, Germany Chefs: Jocelyn Wilson, New Zealand & Gerd Brenner, Germany Doctor: Johannes Schön, Germany 24th May - Embarkation in Keflavík, Faxaflói Bay 4 pm: Position: 64º00N: 22º36W, partly sunny, strong wind. Most of us arrived in due time for embarkation at 4 pm. on a blustery day in Iceland. Many anxious eyes were cast seawards but were consoled by the remarks that we overheard that the weather seemed to be improving! Our Expedition Leader, Rolf Stange from Germany welcomed us on board the Professor Multanovskiy and introduced the staff to us.

Many come year after year, never exhausting Iceland’s endless variations of magnificent scenery and adventure. Returning travelers immedi- ately recognize the crisp, invigorating polar air, and what W. H. Auden called “the most magical light of anywhere on earth.” Iceland’s astonishing beauty often has an austere, primitive, or surreal cast that arouses reverence, wonderment, mystery, and awe. Lasting impressions could include a lone tuft of wildflowers amid a bleak desert moonscape or a fantastical promenade of icebergs calved into a lake from a magisterial glacier. The Icelandic people—freedom-loving, egalitarian, self-reliant, and worldly—are equally exceptional. They established a parliamentary democracy over a millennium ago, and today write, publish, purchase, and read more books per capita than any peo- ple on earth. Reykjavík, their capital, has become one of the world’s most fashionable urban hot spots. In November 2007, the U.N. named Iceland the world’s best coun- try to live in, based on life expectancy, education levels, medical care, income, and other criteria. 1 The Best Natural Wonders • Glymur: Iceland’s tallest waterfall is • Blue Lagoon: The central activity nimble and graceful: Streamlets at this spa—Iceland’s top tourist descend like ribbons of a maypole attraction—is bathing in a shallow, into a fathomless canyon mantled in opaque, blue-green lagoon amid a bird nests and lush mosses.

    RADIOCARBON, Vol 48, Nr 2, 2006, p 243–252 © 2006 by the Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of the University of Arizona COMMENTS ON SVEINBJÖRNSDÓTTIR ET AL. (2004) AND THE SETTLEMENT OF ICELAND Ingrid U Olsson Department of Physics, University of Uppsala, Box 530, SE-751 21 Uppsala, Sweden. Email: [email protected]. ABSTRACT. Radiocarbon dates on samples aimed to date the settlement of Iceland are given together with comments by the laboratory, since many of the results and descriptions given by Sveinbjörnsdóttir et al. (2004) in Radiocarbon, together with new results, are in error. The intention of this paper is to present correct dates and further relevant information regarding sam- ples used earlier and to discuss possible complications inherent in the method of Sveinbjörnsdóttir et al. (2004). Examples are given of how critical the collection, treatment, and interpretation of samples may be. An age difference between birch char- coal and grains for a site is expected due to various reasons. If the difference amounts up to ~100 yr, as reported by Sveinb- jörnsdóttir et al. (2004), it must only to a small degree be due to biological age. Reference to an excavation report, details regarding stratigraphy, and discussions of the risk for displacement and contamination are missing in their paper. A final eval- uation of the time for settlement should not be done until more research is completed and other possible or earlier suggested or even dated sites are discussed. A summary is given of the research on the island and volcanic effects on the 14C activity of the atmospheric CO2, especially over Iceland.
