From Iceland — The Games Of Life: Porcelain Fortress’s Punishing, Satirical Life Simulators Are A Smash Hit

Video games are a complex phenomenon. Simultaneously a multi-billion-dollar global industry, a modern form of mass entertainment, an emerging art form, and a lightning rod for cultural debates, their emergence can be hard to parse. But for many players, the appeal is simple — games offer a way to temporarily escape the rigours and anxieties of modern life.   It’s funny, then, that the ‘life simulator’ genre is so popular. In these games, players…See the Story

From Iceland — Orca Washed Ashore In Grafarvogur

An orca washed ashore near the golf course by Korpúlfsstaðir in Grafarvogur last night, reports RÚV.

The whale was covered with a wet sheet and kept damp throughout the night in an effort to keep it alive. Despite continuous efforts, attempts to refloat the orca early this morning — around 6:00 — wer…Iceland · IcelandSee the Story

From Iceland — Artist Árni Már Auctions A Piece For The Right To Protest

On May 31, 2024, a group of anti-war and pro-Palestine protesters gathered to demonstrate outside a government meeting on Skuggasund. As a group of protesters lay down on the street to block the passage of a government official’s vehicle, police responded to this peaceful demonstration with pepper spray, exposing 20-30 people. Protestors observed that police could have directed the vehicle to a different, more commonly used exit, but seemingly c…Palestine · PalestineRead Article

From Iceland — Population 182, Plus Thousands Of Rocks

A quick visit to Petra’s Stone Collection in Stöðvarfjörður The Eastfjords might still be the most remote and least accessible part of Iceland — but their quiet charm, tiny fjordside towns, and sense of deep stillness are well worth the long drive. One long weekend, I managed to book a cute Airbnb in Stöðvarfjörður, with no real plan other than to follow Route 1 south and see where it led.
