"Discovering Iceland Most Americans are interested in finding out more about this "Land of Fire and Ice" but are unsure exactly how to go about it. If you are one, then "Discovering Iceland" has been tailor-made for you. "Discovering Iceland" is a series of lectures, films, and slide shows offered by the Naval Station Library during this week, National Library Week, commencing Sunday. It is designed to take you beyond what you learned in the orientation lectures or what you may casually observe. The speakers will introduce you to many facets of the land and peo- ple. The library has scheduled the following programs with no admission charge: On Sunday Babs Sigurjonsson will speak on "The Real Life in Ice- land." A native of Scotland who has lived in Iceland for more than 20 years, she is now the host nation teacher at A. T. Mahan Elementary School. She will not only focus on Icelandic customs and experiences of everyday life, but also relate some interesting and humorous stories a- bout her adjustment to her new home. On Monday Thor Halldorsson will use slides in his talk on "How Ice- land Began and How to See it." This will be a mini-tour of some major points of interest and some of the beautiful scenery. Old-timers will appreciate explanations of geologi- cal formations: How did the unique landscape come to be? GOING FOR FOUR—J02 Kevin P. Clarke and Ensign Glendon M. King take time out for a photograph during Clarke's reenlistment ceremony last Friday.

This lecture, accompanied by slides, should help us gain a better understanding of the Icelanders by pointing out the events that have shaped their atti- tudes. On Wednesday, you may have heard of the Icelandic sagas or even read some of these legends, but there is magic in listening while a story- teller spins out the tale for you. Thor Halldorsson tells selected por- tions of sagas and some more recent Icelandic folk tales. On Thursday Sveinn Eiriksson shows an award-winning film on the Westmann Islands. The film not only includes footage of the recent vol- canic eruption and the evacuation of residents, but is also exciting be- cause of its artistic quality. "Discovering Iceland" is being held in observance of National Li- brary Week. During this week, the role of libraries as depositories of information on all subjects and as a source of good recreational reading is recognized nationwide. Each program will begin at 8 p.m. in the library. COMMANDER ICELAND DEFENSE FORCE RADM Richard A. Martini PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICER LCDR Perry C.
