It seems that the volcano, Eyjafjallajokull, has stopped erupting. Experts have been flying over the volcano and examining it and there seems to be no activity. Geologists say that earthquake readings confirm that the activity has come to a stop.
This is good news at it was causing the Icelandic tourism to fall down dramatically which is really sarcastic as it should really have had the opposite effect as there is no danger to people as some might think. We expect that tourism will increase again, especially as now tourists can go and see the newly formed lava and volcano which should be a very special experience not available in many places.

The month of July was the sunniest, warmest and dryest month in Reykjavik for a long time. It was the driest since 1886 and the 4th warmest since beginning of measuring.
Now it is raining for the first time but the temperature is still around 15-17 degrees. As said before the summer in Iceland is usually with temperatures between 13-20°C. Everything over 16°C is considered warm.
Now August has begun and we often have good days or weeks there as well. More on that later in the month.
There will be coming a lot of extra material about Reykjavik and Iceland on this website during August. We will be taking pictures and videos that will be put up here and I personally look forward to publishing this.
Until later...
Rgds,

Next weekend, the first weekend in August, is the biggest local travel weekend of the year. This weekend, called in Icelandic, Verslunarmannahelgin, translates badly and roughly to English as the Shopkeepers or Commerce-people weekend. It means originally that everybody working in shops got a holiday on the Monday after. That meant that a long weekend in the country was the logical choice. Now it is a holiday weekend that everyone has the ability to go for, whatever profession or business section they adhere to. (not everybody does go of course).
In this weekend many planned events are all over the country. If you decide to go, be careful to choose the right event as this is a party weekend with a lot of very wild and crazy partyplaces in between. Strictly family friendly and alcohol free events are also available. Something for everybody is available for this weekend. Also in the city there are planned events for those who donīt like to sleep in a tent and are more of a city creature. |

Reykjavik has been enjoying an especially good weather last few weeks. It might not seem much in most other cities, but in Reykjavik 20°C is warmer than usual. Sun, warm weather and a difficult winter has made the past few weeks very enjoyable in Reykjavik and many companies allow people to leave work early to enjoy the summer.
Tourism is blooming now as the local currency has plummeted in the current economic crash. All of the sudden, Iceland which was considered one the most expensive cities in the world, is now considered to be cheap. Many people come to shop only and make great deals. The Icelandic people also welcome the tourists with open arms, both due to the famous Icelandic hospitality and because it is a win-win deal. The visitors get deals and the Icelandic nation gets foreign currency to strengthen itīs financial situation and help fighting the economic catastrophe. |
