Iceland’s love affair with liquorice

6 Feb 2017

Hundreds of volunteers have participated in the search of the missing Birna Brjánsdóttir.

Unity and agony

22 Jan 2017 Iceland was united when supporting the National Football Team at the EURO 2016. Now it is united again for a very different reason. A young girl is missing and the nation is screaming internally. No one is left untouched.

The crowd erupted when Iceland secured victory over Austria with a goal on the 94th minute.

Football ecstasy in Iceland

23 Jun 2016 Iceland is participating in EURO 2016. Being the smallest nation ever to participate, the Icelandic nation is ecstatic. As I walked out of my house, heading downtown to watch the Iceland-Austria match I heard a group of men singing the unofficial anthem of the national football team. It was on.
