“I don’t know if the message has been
listened to yet by the government. We
have heard nothing from the committee
on refugees. We are desperate for infor-
mation. We want numbers—the minimum numbers of
refugees that Iceland will take. Our foreign minister
has only said he’s not engaged in a pissing contest'
about numbers.”
Volunteers for the widely reported “Kæra
Eygló” campaign share their thoughts and
experiences. They are known as Ninja Team.
Which is cool.d.
“The the hole of our society has to do this together—
you don’t need to be a refugee to know that if you’re
a child coming into a new school, or an individual
coming into a new neighbourhood, it’s very important
to be well received by your neighbours, classmates and
fellow citizens. I’m certain that the positivity of the
Icelandic people will help refugees feel welcome here.”
-Mayor Dagur B. Eggertsson is certain that
the people of Reykjavík will do their part if the
city indeed winds up welcoming “hundreds” of
Syrian refugees.
“The terrain changes rapidly from an expanse of
sandy, boulder-strewn dirt to a vast tract of black
flatland, studded with countless gleaming black
pebbles, to an undulating track that winds steeply
through jagged rock formations… behind us, broken
lava juts up dramatically against the sky; in front of
us, the water flows away across plains of steaming
black sand.”
Up north, the Holuhraun lava field opens for
visitors.
“You've got your standard issue bears, your daddy
bears, your muscle bears, red bears, polar bears;
cubs, chubs, otters, and pups; foxes, silver foxes,
wolves, etc.”
Yum! So many amazing bears in this issue!
And they’re all on page eight of our bonus,
free listings magazine that’s hidden inside
and has amazing features and actual articles
that you will enjoy reading. And many bears.
