Nationwide content-filtering is not a new
thing. It is most infamously done by China
and other undemocratic regimes, but other
states have done it as well. For example,
the Norwegian state has a voluntary agree-
ment with local internet service providers
to block access to child pornography.
Is Iceland going to ban porn? Have they
maybe already done so?
She felt as though someone's eyes were
drilling holes in her back. But behind her
was nothing but the toilet seat. She wiped
herself, flushed and went back into the
apartment. She secured the door with the
bar, looked out the peephole, closed the
balcony doors and lay down in bed again.

Quite often the summit is not the main goal
of a hike or climb and sometimes it doesn’t
involve a summit. But summits are nice,
and I have been lucky enough to make it to
the top of a number of otherwise unclimbed
ones in Iceland.

mountains because they’re there!

While there’s nothing surprising about
the can-do DIY attitude of the young art
community, it was surprising to hear that
this was borne more out of necessity than
desire, as Reykjavík has a reputation for fos-
tering artistic events and talent.
The artists behind Kunstschlager give a
reality check.
