  • Iceland and the Crisis: Territory, Europe, Identity
    Revista Română de Geografie Politică Year XIII, no. 1, May 2011, pp. 5-15 ISSN 1454-2749, E-ISSN 2065-1619 Article no. 131101-216 ICELAND AND THE CRISIS: TERRITORY, EUROPE, IDENTITY Luca ZARRILLI* University “G. D’Annunzio” of Chieti-Pescara, Italy. Department of Economics and History of the Territory, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The growing phase of Iceland’s economy, which began after World War II, was brusquely interrupted in October 2008, when the country was brought to the verge of bankruptcy and Icelanders were catapulted in the so- called kreppa: the very serious financial and social crisis with which Icelanders will have to deal in the years to come. The financial crisis, actually, has been producing, in the last two-year period, significant consequences also in terms of domestic politics, international relations (with special regard to an entry in the EU backed by the new government), cultural debate and even national identity, in addition to the highly evident economic effects. An exploitation of the advanced skills that Iceland has achieved in areas related to the analysis and the governance of the territory could be the response to the crisis from the points of view of environmental sustainability and business diversification. Additionally, it could represent a reaffirmation – as well as a redefinition – of a cultural identity. Key words: Iceland, crisis, EU, territory, identity ****** Iceland between reality and stereotype – In the collective imagery, Iceland distinguishes itself because of its geological and natural features, according to a stereotyped vision of this land (a land characterised by “ice and fire”, “the wild” and “the extreme”).

  • Cultural Diplomacy the Icelandic Way
    DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SCIENCE Cultural Diplomacy The Icelandic Way The current state of Iceland’s cultural diplomacy practices Master Thesis in Cultural Management Student: Bergþóra Laxdal Advisor: Dr. Gregory Payne Fall – 2016 ABSTRACT This 30 ECT credit MA thesis is a case study that discusses the role of the Government of Iceland and the creative centers in Iceland when publicly funding cultural projects that take place internationally. The objective is to examine the current state of how the Government of Iceland conducts its cultural diplomacy practices. In examining the Government practices on this topic, the following three questions are pursued; is there an informal cultural diplomacy policy in place; what principles drive that policy and what strategic approach is in place to fulfill the policy? The participants were selected due to their expertise in the cultural affairs of Iceland, and were divided into two groups. The first group, the Expert Committee on Art and Culture Expert Committee on Art and Culture headed by Promote Iceland, was selected to identify the Government agencies from which the creative centers receive their public funding and to gain insight into how projects that receive public funding are selected to represent Iceland abroad. This group delivered their answers in a written open ended questionnaire. The second group, Government cultural representatives with responsibilities in distributing public funding, was selected to get an overview of how the distribution of funds takes place and delivered their answers through an interview. The results were analyzed according to theories about policy and policy streams and strategy processes. The results support the view of an informal cultural policy being in place.

  • Iceland Volcano Unleashes Third Lava Stream 7 April 2021
    Iceland volcano unleashes third lava stream 7 April 2021 about halfway between the two sites of the earlier eruptions, gushing lava in small spurts and belching smoke. The new river of bright orange magma flowed down the slope to join an expanding field of lava at the base, now covering more than 33 hectares (81 acres), according to the last press briefing by the Icelandic Meteorological Office late Tuesday. The volcano is about 40 kilometres (25 miles) from the capital Reykjavik Lava is flowing from a third fissure that opened overnight in Iceland's nearly three-week-old volcanic eruption near the capital Reykjavik, officials said Wednesday. Tens of thousands of people have ventured to the site The spectacular eruption began on March 19 when a first fissure disgorged a steady stream of lava, flowing into the Geldingadalir valley of Mount The site had been closed to the public Monday Fagradalsfjall on Iceland's southwestern tip. because of the new activity, then reopened early Wednesday. The new split comes two days after two fissures opened around 700 metres (yards) from the initial Icelandic experts, who initially thought the eruption eruption, creating a long molten rivulet flowing into would be a short-lived affair, now think it could last a neighbouring valley. several weeks or more. The third lava stream, about a metre deep and 150 © 2021 AFP metres (490 feet) long, is a new draw for tens of thousands of gawkers taking advantage of the site's relatively easy access, just 40 kilometres (25 miles) from Reykjavik. It is about half a kilometre from the craters of the initial eruption.

Printing: Háskólaprent, Fálkagata 2, 107 Reykjavík Reykjavík, Iceland, October 2018 For Mary and Nicholas Abstract Iceland’s lavas preserve a unique record of Earth’s magnetic field for the past sixteen million years, and were used by early pioneers of palaeomagnetism to test several concepts which became crucial to modern geoscience. Iceland represents one of very few high latitude (>60◦) locations where long sequences of lavas suitable for palaeo- magnetic research are accessible. Since the early 1950s, research in Iceland has produced a large collection of palaeomagnetic data which has not previously been collected into a comprehensive database. ICEPMAG (http://icepmag.org/) com- piles palaeomagnetic data published in journal articles, academic theses and other databases from over 9,200 sampling sites in Iceland - one of the world’s largest col- lections of palaeomagnetic data from a single location.
