There are many things we still don’t
know about elves and hidden people.
What we do know, we have learned
from people who have had decades of
friendships with them and have been
invited into their homes.
-Elf School Headmaster Magnús Skar-
phéðinsson has collected testimonies
from over 700 people who have seen
elves, hidden people and other nature
spirits.

‘Best drunken slice’ gets our crowd
arguing every time. Even though folks
mostly agree on what a ‘drunken slice’
needs to offer (grease), they are very
divided on which place brings the
goods in a consistent enough manner

egory for ‘best drunken slice’. What of it?

If we had this “feels like” feature in
our weather reporting, we would say
that it “feels like” 40°C whenever the
temperature reached 20°C, without
exception. This demonstrates the im-
portance of ‘mentality’ and ‘attitude’.
-Jón Gnarr says:
WELCOME TO REYKJAVÍK!

There’s something very special about
this place. It’s hard to put a finger on
it, but I think it’s a combination of its
isolation and the beautiful yet dra-
matic nature surrounding it
-Artist Sara Riel thinks you should visit
Galtarviti this summer. We agree.
