Iceland's number one icon, Björk Guðmundsdóttir turned 50 on Saturday. According to our sources, she celebrated her birthday at the small Húrra bar/ concert venue in downtown Reykjavik surrounded by friends and family.
The guest list was obviously exclusive but contained hundreds of people.
Here are a few photographs of Björk from Morgunblaðið's archives through the ages, of the seemingly ageless Björk.
