On the docket this week are:Snow And Ice Expected All Over IcelandConsider this a weather warning. We're expecting a lot of snow in Iceland in the next 24-48 hours, with snowfall up to 20-30 centimeters, in the south and east of Iceland, including ReykjavikStuck In The Highlands (With Your Mom)A mother and son, who arrived in decent weather at Landmannalaugar in the Icelandic highlands this Saturday, woke up yesterday in deep snow, rendering them stuck, far from civilization. They had to be towed from there by SARS. The Last Criminal Case Following the 2008 Economic Collapse, Resolved.The last Icelandic criminal case in relations to the 2008 banking collapse was resolved in 2021. However, one case in Luxembourg remained and that case was finally finalized with a settlement in a Luxembourg court last week. The case in question, called the Lindsor case, had been under investigation for 15 years and had to do with the bank Kaupthing buying up bonds from Kaupthing's employees, just days before the bank collapsed in October 2008.The Icelandic Housing Market Freezes OverFollowing a recent Supreme Court ruling on inflation indexed housing loans, all the major Icelandic banks stopped issuing such loans. The result is, at least temporarily, that very few Icelanders can actually take out a hosing loan.Police raids the wrong address, Twice. Twice this year, the police entered the wrong house to perform a search.00:34:30 Question TimeWe respond to some listeners questions.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://steadyhq.com/en/rvkgrapevine/You can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store: https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WHO ARE WE?The Reykjavík Grapevine is an alternative monthly magazine, bringing you all the news and views on Icelandic society, music, travel, culture and more.

Suðurhluti Evrópu er að skrælna í hitabylgju og hitamet hafa fallið á Spáni og í Portúgal. Um fimmtíu þúsund manns hafa flúið að heiman undan eldum í Izmir héraði í Tyrklandi. Í El Granado, nærri landamærum Spánar og Portúgals, fór hitinn í 46 stig á laugardaginn og hefur aldrei mælst hærri í júní og enn heitara varð í Mora í Portúgal. Hálendisvakt Landsbjargar hófst í gær þegar Björgunarfélag Árborgar hélt á fyrstu vakt sumarsins inn í Landmannalaugar. Margar hálendisleiðir eru enn lokaðar en vegirnir opnast einn af öðrum. Fjallaskálar eru komnir í fullan rekstur og ferðamenn mættir þar sem fært er orðið.

Das isländische Hochland birgt die Schönheit von Jahrtausenden. Dutzende Vulkane haben tonnenweise Lava und Gestein aus dem Inneren hervorgepresst. Darüberliegende Eisschichten haben das zu einem riesigen Gebirge zusammengedrückt und nach ihrem Rückzug tiefe Furchen hinterlassen. Durch dieses Hochplateau schlängelt sich der Laugavegur – der Weg der heißen Quellen – von Landmannalaugar bis nach Þórsmörk. Die etwa 54 Kilometer lange Tour ist der beliebteste Wanderweg der Insel und so etwas wie eine Einsteiger-Route für Island-Hiker. Wobei „Einsteiger“ mit Vorsicht zu genießen ist. Denn der Weg entlang brodelnder Schlammtöpfe, über messerscharfe Obsidiane, durch dunkle Sandwüsten und eiskalte Flüsse verlangt dem Menschen nicht nur gute Kondition und vorausschauende Planung, sondern auch eine gewisse Resilienz und Abenteuer-Lust ab. Denn selbst erfahrene Alpinisten müssen spätestens beim ersten Juli-Blizzard erkennen, dass die Uhren am Polarkreis häufig anders ticken. Michael Richmann und Merle Schaack haben sich für Zwischen Hamburg und Haiti auf dieses Abenteuer eingelassen und erzählen von anfänglichen Sicherheitsbedenken, spannenden Mini-Games im offenen Gelände, kalten Nächten im Zelt und der warmherzigen Geborgenheit isländischer Gastfreundschaft. Zurück in der Hauptstadt Reykajvík spüren sie den Ursprüngen der isländischen Küche nach, die so weit oben am Polarkreis und abseits der üblichen Handelsrouten ganz andere Wege eingeschlagen hat als der Rest Skandinaviens.

We are going to talk to Jacks Genega of Wildcard Wilderness Survival. Jacks is an avid adventurer whose journey into exploring the world of wilderness survival began when encountering an earthquake and witness to an avalanche just moments after she began a 5 day solo hike in Iceland's Landmannalaugar region.

Una tierra donde los cuatro elementos pugan por ser los adalides de unos paisajes increibles. Asi define Xabier Bañuelos a Islandia, esta isla anclada entre el Atlántico Norte y el Oceáno Artico justo debajo del Circulo Polar. Uno de estos paisajes rodeado de lavas es Landmannalaugar....

Islandia nazywana jest krainą lodu i ognia, ale ja nazwałabym ją krainą deszczu i wiatru. W tym odcinku opowiem o mojej podróży na Isladnię, dlaczego zdecydowałam się na wyjazd zorganizowany, ile to kosztowało i co mi się na Islandii podobało.Moje ulubione miejsca:Kąpiel w gorących źródełkach - secret lagoonWjazd do interioru - hnausapollur crater lakeNocleg i hike w LandmannalaugarÞakgil, kemping pod lodowcem Mýrdarsjökull i Hike na lodowiecLaguna lodowcowa - ice lagoonBazaltowy kanion Organizator wyjazdu:https://www.instagram.com/ball.voyage/

Diesen Tag werden wir so schnell nicht vergessen. Weniger wegen der tollen „Justin Bieber Schlucht“ sondern mehr wegen unserem Ausflug nach Landmannalaugar. Ein Ritt über Stock und Stein, durch Furten und extreme Steigungen. Mal auf Stein, mal auf Sand und mal auf Lehm. Dazu kein Handynetz, einsetzender Schnee und Schlagloch an Schlagloch. Hätte man im Vorfeld gelesen, dass diese Strecke die gefährlichste ist, wären wir sie wohl auch nicht gefahren.

Umsjón Felix Bergsson og Drífa Viðarsdóttir Laugavegshlaupið fer fram nú um helgina en hlaupið er orðið landsþekkt enda er þetta ótrúlegt 55 km utanvegahlaup á Laugaveginum sem tengir saman náttúruperlurnar Landmannalaugar og Þórsmörk á sunnanverðu hálendi Íslands. Göngugarpar eru venjulega 2-4 daga á leið sinni um Laugaveginn en hröðustu hlaupararnir fara leiðina á 4-5 klukkustundum og það er hreint ótrúlegt að fylgjast með þeim bestu í þessu hlaupi. Silja Úlfarsdóttir frá Íþróttabandalagi Reykjavíkur var í símanum og sagði okkur af hlaupinu Stöðugur straumur einkaflugvéla hefur verið gegnum Reykjavíkurflugvöll upp á síðkastið og ekkert lát er á umferðinni og segja má að sprenging hafi orðið í komum einkaflugvéla á Reykjavíkurflugvöll frá mánaðamótum, en reiknað er með meiri umferð nú í júlímánuði en í júlí 2019. Svo virðist sem áhuginn hafi aukist sérstaklega eftir að hætt var að skima bólusetta ferðamenn fyrsta júlí. Við heyrðum í Stefáni Smára Kristinssyni rekstrarstjóri ACE FBO, sem þjónustar einkaflugvélar á Reykjavíkurflugvelli. Frá Kanada berast hræðilegar fréttir en stöðugt eru að finnast ómerktar fjöldagrafir barna úr hópi frumbyggja Kanada. Þessi börn voru vistuð á heimavistarskólum á vegum kanadískra yfirvalda og kaþólsku kirkjunnar. Alls hafa yfir þúsund ómerktar grafir fundist, flestar í Bresku Kólumbíu í vesturhluta Kanada og nú hafa menn farið að kalla þessar hörmungar þjóðarmorð. En um hvað snýst þetta mál? Gísli Pálsson mannfræðingur settist með okkur í morgunútvarpinu. Hringvegur og raflína eru nú í hættu við Jökulsárlón vegna strandrofs, en við hringveginn austan við Jökulsárlón á Breiðamerkursandi hefur hafið farið óblíðum höndum um strandlengjuna. Vegna rofsins við ströndina eru bæði raflínur Landsnets og hringvegurinn í hættu og aðeins eru nokkrir metrar frá raflínunni að kantinum, en strandlengjan hefur færst um tvo til fjóra metra á ári frá 2003. Guðmundur Valur Guðmundsson framkvæmdastjóri þróunarsviðs Vegagerðarinnar mætti til okkar og sagði okkur nánar frá þessu og hann ræddi líka ástand vega og vegaframkvæmdir víðsvegar um landið.
