    20ºW Arctic Circle Akureyri Reykjavík Eglisstadir Höfn Vik WELCOME TO THE LAND OF ICE AND FIRE Main active volcanoes since settlement (AD 874). ALL-NEW MX-5 AND MX-5 ICON SPECIAL EDITION: ICELAND DRIVE In celebration of the sheer driving pleasure offered by the all-new MX-5 and MX-5 Icon special edition, ahead of you lies more than 800 miles of exhilarating and captivating road trip through the stunning, often stark, occasionally tempestuous and always breathtaking Icelandic landscape. WELCOME TO THE LAND OF FIRE AND ICE ALL-NEW MAZDA MX-5 With a superior power to weight ratio, rear-wheel drive, perfect 50:50 weight distribution and more comfort and technology than ever before, the all-new Mazda MX-5 is pure roadster. Offered with a choice of two SKYACTIV-G petrol engines it comes with generous standard equipment and new levels of safety technology. The all-new Mazda MX-5 has reaffirmed Mazda’s dominance of the affordable sports car sector. Maintaining the driver-focused ethos that has made it the world’s bestselling two-seater sports car of all time, the latest MX-5 was conceived and developed under the concept of ‘innovate in order to preserve’. This engineering philosophy has allowed Mazda to maintain the agility, fun and engagement that has always defined the MX-5, while at the same time meeting ever-increasing safety and efficiency requirements, alongside improved refinement. The lightest MX-5 since the iconic original, the all-new Mazda MX-5 is shorter, lower and wider than the outgoing car, with the smallest overhangs and lowest centre of gravity yet.

  • Sauðárkrókur, Iceland Friday 25Th of July
    NSU 2014 Krækingur Sauðárkrókur, Iceland Friday 25th of July Welcome to the Summer Session 2014 For the first time in 10 years we have our Summer Session in Iceland. We’ve had years with almost no participants from Iceland; even years when the Icelandic member of the board was Danish — in hope that this revival of Danish colonialism would provoke Icelanders to take action and come back. I don’t think that is the reason we are now back in Iceland, it is rather thanks to several winter sessions in Iceland within the last years and not least thanks to a group of very hard working people in Arrkom who have been looking forward to welcoming us in Iceland. And, I can tell, they have spent lots and lots of hours working on this! We are a good number of participants this summer, more than Carsten Friberg Photo: Zane Cerpina we have been for the last years. So we will be many people enjoying their work on arranging the summer for us, and enjoy- ing each other’s company and the feeling of NSU. information and in good faith plan next year as we should. Last summer in Norway we were very concerned about cuts in So what about the future? Since we have not seen the the budget of Nordic Council of Ministers (NMR) and the sug- evaluation yet it is hard to say. If we had had it for this summer gestion that NSU should be under the auspices of NordForsk we could also begin a discussion about possible improvements (the research program of NMR).

Iceland entertains day and night, year-round. It’s an extraordinary blend of scenic wonders and quirky characteristics created by a unique and highly creative culture, the personality of its people and a virtuoso performance by Mother Nature. Choose the Capital Area and surrounding villages for stylish accommodation, top restaurants, hip nightlife and exceptional museums and galleries. The oh-so-different regions offer thrills, action and yet more culinary and cultural discoveries. Every season brings a new dimension. Spring wakens the country’s inherent freshness, while in summer Iceland becomes a land of midnight sun, where daylight and the action barely wane. The Autumn skyscapes produce yet more colours, drawing photographers from all over the world to record the spectacle of the annual horse and sheep round-up and locals foraging for wild berries and herbs. In winter, try cross-country skiing or experience the phenomena of the Northern Lights.
