  • 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.

  • The Best of Iceland
    04_178416-ch01.qxp 5/29/08 8:59 AM Page 1 1 The Best of Iceland On each trip to Iceland, we are always struck by how often other travelers are—or intend to be—repeat visitors. 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.

  • 243 Comments on Sveinbjörnsdóttir Et Al. (2004) And
    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.

  • Stofnvöktun Lunda 2018
    STOFNVÖKTUN LUNDA 2018 Framvinduskýrsla til Umhverfisstofnunar Erpur Snær Hansen Desember 2018 Stofnvöktun lunda – Framvinduskýrsla 2018 ÁGRIP Lundi er algengastur og mest veiddur íslenskra fugla. Næstum allur lundi er nú veiddur í háf á varptíma og varð háfaveiði ríkjandi veiðiaðferð í Vestmannaeyjum um 1880 [1]. Þar hefur veiðimagn verið tengt sjávarhita frá 1880 [2]. Skiptast á hlý- og köld tímabil sem vara í um 35 ár, og hefur veiði hnignað á hlýskeiðunum en aukist á kaldskeiðum [2]. Núverandi hlýskeið hófst 1996 og hefur veiði á landsvísu dregist saman um 91% síðan 1995, en samdrátturinn 1995-2007 nemur 66 prósentustigum, þ.e. áður en dregið var úr sókn. Viðkoma, varpárangur og ábúð varphola hefur verið mjög breytileg milli fjögurra skilgreindra landsvæða, hæst á norðursvæði og fremur stöðug milli ára. Á Vestursvæði hafa orðið mestar breytingar, en þar hefur viðkoma, varpárangur og ábúð aukist mikið þar til síðustu tvö ár að bakslag hefur komið. Sandsíli hefur talsvert sést í fæðuburði síðust tvö ár, mest í Faxaflóa. Svo virðist sem sílið nái ekki að fjölga nægjanlega mikið til að ná fyrri stöðu sinni. Í Papey hefur viðkoma, varpárangur og ábúð verið á hægri niðurleið eftir núll-árin 2010 og 2011. Meðal viðkoma og varpárangur hafa verið lægst í Vestmannaeyjum, en meðal ábúð hin sama og á vestursvæði eða 25-30% lægri en á norður- og austursvæðunum. Viðkoma í Eyjum hefur verið svo lítil allt frá árinu 2003 að íslenski lundastofninn hefur verið í rénun síðan þá. Hlutfall ungfugla í veiði 1996-2018 hefur verið tölfræðilega marktækt undir viðmiðunarmörkum, en aukist verulega síðustu tvö ár.

  • The Onset of the Palaeoanthropocene in Iceland: Changes to Complex
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by St Andrews Research Repository The onset of the palaeoanthropocene in Iceland: changes to complex natural systems Richard Streeter,1 Andrew J Dugmore, 2 Ian T Lawson,1 Egill Erlendsson3 and Kevin J Edwards4 1Department of Geography and Sustainable Development, University of St Andrews, UK 2Department of Geography and the Lived Environment, University of Edinburgh, UK 3Department of Geography and Tourism, University of Iceland, Iceland 4Departments of Geography & Environment and Archaeology, University of Aberdeen, UK Corresponding author: Richard Streeter, Department of Geography and Sustainable Development, University of St Andrews, Irvine Building, North Street, St Andrews, Fife, KY16 9AL, UK. Email: [email protected] Abstract Pre-industrial human impacts on the past environment are apparent in different proxy records at different times in different places. Recognising environmentally- transformative human impacts in palaeoenvironmental archives, as opposed to natural variability, is a key challenge in understanding the nature of the transition to the Earth’s current ‘Anthropocene’ condition. Here we consider the palaeoenvironmental record for Iceland over the past 2.5 ka, both before and after the late-9th century human settlement (landnám). The Scandinavian colonization of the island was essentially abrupt, involving thousands of people over a short period. The colonization triggered extensive changes in Icelandic ecosystems and landscapes. A volcanic ash known as the Landnám 1 tephra was deposited over most of Iceland immediately before the settlement began. The Landnám tephra layer thus provides a uniquely precise litho-chrono-stratigraphic marker of colonization.

  • Radiocarbon Dating and Icelandic Archaeology
    RADIOCARBON DATING AND ICELANDIC ARCHAEOLOGY Vilhjdlmur örn Vilhjrilmsson ABSTRACT This article deals with the application of radiocarbon dating in Icelandic archaeology. Results of some of the raC datings do not match the conventional date for the settlement of Iceland. An attempt has been made to explain this discrepancy by a reservoir effect- hypothesis which has neither been sufficiently tested nor proven. Most of the irregular dates derive notably from a single laboratory. A number of alternative explanations for the discrepancy are given in this study, among them the fact that some radiocarbon laboratories do not ask for, or execute, a detailed wood-analysis prior to dating. Introduction archaeologists and geologists have not alwaysunder- stood the character of the method, its inaccuracy and all the possible pitfalls which have to be taken into Most Icelandic lac dating samples have been handed account, before results a radiocarbon date are in at laboratories with the hope that the dates they of presented. will provide are consistent with the traditional date for the settlement of Iceland (Icel. I-andndm), at the end of the ninth cantury. Unfortunately, neither the The landnam t4C dating method, nor the samples, have been able to provide definite proof for the traditional literary The settlement of Iceland has played an important, date of the landnam. If not questioned, a number of and maybe an over-important role for much research dating results have turned out to indicate a settle- in Iceland, both within literary and scientif,rc research ment in Iceland somewhat earlier than the conven- subjects.
