busy these days, touring the US with
Swedish Indie Pop singer Jens Lekman
and planning to release their newest
album, Murta St. Calunga, on Friday,
June 13th. Accompanied by the Young
People’s Symphony Orchestra, a crowd
of 30 musicians will be crammed on-
stage, guaranteeing their trademark
melodic depth, if despite some bump-
ing elbows. Expect a cheerful feeling
on your way out. Tickets are available
both on Midi.is and in Skifan Records
at Laugavegur 26.

to the first settlers.

HOW TO DRIVE IN ICELAND
A relatively large percentage of foreign tourists in Iceland travel around the country by car.
Conditions in Iceland are in many ways unusual, and often quite unlike that which foreign drivers
are accustomed. It is therefore very important to find out how to drive in this country. We know
that the landscapes are beautiful, which naturally draws the attention of driver away from the
road. But in order to reach your destination safely, you must keep your full attention on driving.
LIVESTOCK ON THE ROAD SINGLE-LANE BRIDGES
In Iceland, you can expect
livestock to be on or alongside
the road. It is usually sheep,
but sometimes horses and even
cows can be in your path. This
is common all over the country,
and can be very dangerous. Sometimes a sheep is
on one side of the road and her lambs on the
other. Under these conditions–which are
common–it is a good rule to expect the lambs or
the sheep to run to the other side.
There are many single-lane
bridges on the Icelandic
roads. The actual rule is that
the car closer to the bridge
has the right-of-way.
However, it is wise to stop
and assess the situation, i.e. attempt to see
what the other driver plans to do. This sign
indicates that a single-lane bridge is ahead.
