Listening to Johnny Cash and exploring #Friendica as a #Facebook alternative—tired of social media manipulation. No friends here, maybe one other Icelander.

Lately, I’ve been into #Meshtastic, #Photography, and getting back to #Linux. Also enjoying #HamRadio after getting my license.

I set up a #Zello channel for Meshtastic Iceland—feel free to join! 🔗 https://zello.page/2ahVfUasfF3BSomt6

Paysages Islandais (2)

Petite mise à jour du portfolio Paysages Islandais avec trois nouvelles photos, prises dans le Landmannalaugar au cours du même voyage. Je dépile peu à peu toutes les photos prises à l’époque, cela devrait me prendre encore un peu de temps pour tout finaliser. Peut-être que j’en ferai un recueil [...]

‘Extraordinary longevity’: great whales can live a lot longer than we thought – if we leave them alone

The report comes in the wake of news that Iceland wants to kill more fin whales, the second-largest animal on Earth, and Japan wants to resume hunting them.

I'm fighting eviction, they are selling debt to private intrests and taking the homes. Something Iceland has never done before. They sold the disabled and elderly first. It's a land grab.

It will come for everyone eventually.

These #billionaires own lots of land in #Iceland already, now they're going after properties. This has been going on for a long time. Blackstone will be the biggest landlord globally.

Iceland is a microcosm of late stage capitalism.


Once in a lifetime photo.

Towards the end of a fabulous auroral display, a meteor streaked through my shot.
I was literally dancing with joy!

Early November 2021, near Egilsstaðir in eastern #Iceland.
ISO-800 f/2.8 15 seconds exposure.

A strong auroral display beginning to break up, creating a swirling mass of green loops and spikes in the lower two-thirds of the shot. Above them, the stars are visible, in particular Ursa Major the Plough (Big Dipper) in the top left. The foreground is a silhouette of gentle hills, some trees are visible on the skyline which give scale. Near the centre of the shot, travelling from upper right to lower left, a sputtering fireball is streaking through.


Prolonged northerly winds have created ideal conditions for sea ice between #Iceland and #Greenland

This is a 2-month series of #Sentinel1 extra wide swath images showing drift ice forming and extending its claws towards the #Westfjords

#BlueLagoon parking under lava as night falls. A small service building was destroyed as well.

Visually, the lava appears to have topped the berm; it's unclear if there's any active lava tubes feeding the breach.

#hiking the Fimmvorduhals Trail in Iceland. The glacial river has some 29 waterfalls on offer, all spectacular. Last day of hike was unusually sunny. Just spectacular.
