“Come on in darling,” she said,
and I thought it’d be brilliant,
drinking champagne in the
midst of a revolution. Epic. Then
I was on the balcony, having my
drink, when the teargas bombs
went off. That was real deca-
dent.
Artist Ragnar Kjartansson says artists
should never refuse champagne.

“It can drive you crazy waiting
like this, year after year – sleep-
ing, eating, sleeping – not know-
ing what they’re going to do
with you.”
Being an asylum seeker in Iceland is no
picnic.

An average of 30% of Iceland-
ers have at one time or another
visited a medium or attended
a séance, 25% are convinced
that elves probably exist, and
26% believe that contact with
the dead could be established
though the channelling talents
of clairvoyants.
Marc Vincenz explores the transcendental
Icelandic underground.

Vík (Icelandic for ‘bay’) or Vík
í Mýrdal is the southernmost
village in Iceland, the wettest
place in the country and, with
an impressive 300 inhabitants,
one of the largest settlements in
the area. I have several reasons
to believe that Vík is also the
epitome of all things creepy.
Sari Peltonen was freaked by Vík.
