CAPTURED IN CLAY
Icelandic artist Kolbrún Kjarval has produced beautiful hand-
icrafts for over 27 years. Using stoneware and earthenware,
she is inspired mostly by the birds of Iceland, which she
reproduces though her art.
Kjarval works with nature. She often takes soil samples on
her travels though Iceland and abroad, mixing them into clay
for decorative purposes, as well as using volcanic ash as a
glaze. She is greatly influenced by Icelandic nature and the
special light found in Iceland.
Kjarval’s collection of bird renderings are available from the
Icemart Store at Keflavík International Airport.

Iceland is exempt from the recently implemented law abolishing tax- and duty-free sales to travellers within the European Union
(EU). Iceland is not a member of the EU and therefore not affected by the change. In other words, Leifur Eiríksson Terminal is easy
on the wallet!
With stores open for all incoming and outgoing flights, the terminal provides travellers with a plethora of buying opportunities. All
merchandise available at the terminal are both tax- and duty-free, and prices are extremely competitive. The decision to end intra-EU
duty-free sales is increasing the already flourishing tax- and duty-free trade at the Leifur Eiríksson Terminal, located at Keflavík
International Airport, while at the same time equalising taxes among EU member states.
Icelandair does not fly between any destinations within the EU. Thus, Icelandair passengers can shop duty-free at all European des-
tinations, as well as in Iceland, when arriving and departing.

Some places defy belief. The Blue Lagoon, with its magical,

lagoon carved into a field of lava. It’s one of Iceland’s natural
wonders.
From this natural wonder comes a new line of skin-care prod-
ucts: Balance - Geothermal Care, specially developed for the
face. The Balance - Geothermal Care line consists of a
Balance cleanser & toner, Balance rich cream and Balance
light cream.

the Blue Lagoon or order directly from www.bluelagoon.is

ed at Keflavík International Airport.
