Extractions: Iceland Traditional Icelandic food is not as bad as it sounds: in fact several dishes are actually edible. The one glaring exception is , putrefied shark meat that has been buried for up to six months to ensure sufficient decomposition. Slightly more palatable is , ram's testicles pickled in whey and pressed into a cake, and svie , singed sheep head (complete with eyes) sawn in two, boiled and eaten either fresh or pickled. You could also try , a mish-mash of sheep leftovers tied up in the stomach and cooked. Less bizarre foods include: (haddock); bleikja (char); lundi (puffin); and, if you haven't any objections to eating them, whale blubber, whale steaks and seal meat. The unique Icelandic treat is skyr , a yoghurt-like concoction made of pasteurised skim milk and bacteria culture. Coffee is a national institution, while beer, wine and spirits are available, though expensive. The traditional Icelandic brew is , a sort of schnapps made from potatoes and flavoured with caraway. : We've tried to make the information on this web site as accurate as possible, but it is provided 'as is' and we accept no responsibility for any loss, injury or inconvenience sustained by anyone resulting from this information.

Extractions: Country Info Iceland Introduction Iceland General Data Iceland Maps Iceland Culture ... Iceland Time and Date Iceland Culture Back to Top Icelanders are proof that a rich cultural life can be developed despite a small population. The country's literary heritage stems from writers of the 12th to 14th centuries who vividly recorded the sagas of Iceland's first 250 years. Other traditional arts include weaving, silver crafting, and wood carving. Poetry was the great literary form of expression in the 19th century, whereas the novel and drama have been the prime forms of literature in the 20th century. The Reykjavík area, which supports several professional theatres, a symphony orchestra, an opera, and a number of art galleries, bookstores, cinemas, and museums, has a cultural environment that compares favourably with those of cities several times its size. It also holds biennial international art festivals. Art in Iceland was long connected with religion, first the Roman Catholic church and later the Lutheran church. The first professional secular painters appeared in Iceland in the 19th century. Gradually increasing in number, these painters, such as Jóhannes Kjarval, highlighted the character and beauty of their country. Painting continues to thrive in Iceland, where artists have fused foreign influences with local heritage. The old traditions in silver working have been retained, the most characteristic of which is the use of silver thread for ornamentation. Literature is also alive and well in Iceland. The literary tradition of the saga has been revived, and Iceland has often been the setting of 20th-century fiction. Several Icelandic writers have received international acclaim, such as Halldór Laxness, who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1955. Other native writers have written for the theatre, and their work has grown more international in theme and setting. Music also enjoyed a tremendous upsurge after World War II. The programs of the Iceland Symphony are drawn from a classical repertoire and the work of modern Icelandic composers, and one or more operas or musicals are performed every year at the National Theatre and the Icelandic Opera. Popular music by Icelandic performers, such as Björk, has gained international commercial success and critical acclaim.

Extractions: Main Page Interesting Places Towns and Islands : Husavik Husavik Husavik, a fishing village of 2.500 inhabitants, is a perfect centre for individual tourists and groups travelling in the Northeast. Visitors can during their stay in Husavik choose between a fine hotel, guesthouse and camping. Husavik is located on the Eastern Shore of Skjalfandi-bay facing the impressive Kinnarfjoll -mountains across the bay. Behind the town the Husavik-mountain rises to 417 m. above sea level and a drive or a walk to the top is a must to enjoy the view from the island Grimsey on the Arctic Circle in the north to the majestic glacier Vatnajokull in the south. Husavik offers an ample selection of easy hikes through varied landscape for example, along the shores of the bay, up the Husavik mountain or around the lake Botnsvatn where trout fishing is free of charge. Even though fishing and fish processing is the important industry in Husavik the town is now well known as the whale watching capital of Europe . Whale watching trips from Husavik harbour on traditional fishing boats and passenger boats are getting increasingly popular. Bird watching and sea angling are also quite interesting and enjoyable. The Husavik Whale Centre is the first and only information centre on whales in Iceland; it was opened June 20th 1998.

Iceland's Culture Clash: Save The Whales Vs. Captain Ahab

Extractions: Special to The Christian Science Monitor VESTMANNAEYJAR, ICELAND A cold wind whips across the cliff-bounded bay, but Keiko the whale couldn't care less. Circling in his enormous floating pen, the 10,000-pound star of the 1993 hit film "Free Willy" squeals thunderous exhalations and pops his head high out of the water to check out some tourists. But his guardians, members of the Ocean Futures environmental group, would prefer Keiko ignored the visitors. As part of an effort to reintroduce him to the wild Icelandic waters, where he was caught more than two decades ago, the group must weaken Keiko's bonds with humans. Ironically, the country hosting and coddling this celebrity orca whale is at the vanguard of a huge push to legalize commercial whale hunting. Iceland's parliament voted to resume whaling in March, but the government is moving slowly on the issue for fear of a boycott by major trading partners. Nonetheless, the move is popular domestically: Three-quarters of Iceland's 270,000 people support the return to whaling. Whales have been hunted for centuries here and are cherished not as individuals, but for their lean red steaks. orcas have never been hunted here, but Keiko is one of several captured for the aquarium trade.
