The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks.

✨ April 1st saw yet another eruption in the vicinity of Grindavík. All but over now, we discuss the eruption, if magma can change your state of being, and mention the resident of Grindavík who allegedly pulled a shotgun on two members of the local SARS when they asked him to leave the town due to the eruption.
✨ Does Icelandic liquorice have health benefits, we doubt it.
✨ Can one see Greenland from Iceland? We dive into that age old question.
✨Is Mt. Esja Iceland's most overrated mountain?
✨ Life expectancy in Iceland increases and this leads to discussion about Val Kilmer (RIP).
✨ 30 people rescued from Eyjafjallajökull glacier.
✨ We discuss difficult sounds in Icelandic along with a few strange Icelandic words, such as "rannsaka" or ransack and being "horsedrunk".
✨ Finally we discuss taxation of the fishing industry in Iceland.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the docket this week are:
✨ An update on a tourist rescued by SARS almost two weeks ago near Seyðisfjörður in East Iceland. We tell you who it was, and what we can learn from his "adventure".✨The minister of Education & Children, Ásthildur Lóa Þórsdóttir resigned Thursday after a story broke about her having had a child with a 16 year old boy in 1990.
✨Carbfix, an Icelandic company founded in 2007 that has developed an approach to permanently store CO2 by dissolving it in water and injecting it into basalt rocks pulls out of its plan to set up operations in the town of Hafnarfjöður due to protest by the locals.
✨ The landowners at Sólheimasandur in South Iceland have recently bough and old Douglas Dakota DC-3 WW2 era airplane. Why? Because an old wreck of such a plane in the area has in recent years become a tourist attraction, but due to wear and tear needs, in the opinion of the landowners, to be replaced.
✨ We also talk about a tiny protest outside Iceland's only Tesla dealership over the weekend and arrests made due to violent crime in downtown Reykjavík, which seems to be related to organised crime.

In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are:
✨ Bobby Fischer thought The Reykjavík Grapevine was funded by the CIA. Or was it USAID? We discuss a recent update on the multiple conspiracy theories about The Reykjavík Grapevine's funding.
✨Iceland just got bigger. Or so to say. The UN Continental Shelf Commission has decided that Iceland holds sovereignty over the continental shelf of the Reykjanes Ridge. We "celebrate" this as far as we understand what it means. Mostly we just fear that this will make Trump notice us, something we're happy not to happen.
✨A tourist was rescued Thursday by SARS after being lost for five days. The tourist had walked, alone, without any equipment or food to a remote uninhabited fjord in East Iceland and survived by eating grass and old berries. Again we ask: Why?
✨ Paul Watson of Sea Shepherd fame was quoted in Japan Today as saying "Our ongoing campaign is to stop illegal whaling activities this summer. We will be intervening against Icelandic whaling. That'll start in June". We discuss Mr. Watson's previous adventures in Iceland, some dating back to 1986.
✨ Icelandic Minister of Educations talks shit about our justice system after having lost a court case. We discuss both how this is not cool, yet far from unusual.
✨ A man was murdered on Tuesday. At least 6 people have been arrested, some of them detained. Details are sparse. We discuss this tragedy.
✨ Those still interested in the Reykjanes Eruptions are waiting for the next eruption to start. We aren't really waiting, but thought we'd mention it.

On the docket this week are:
✨ Three fatal traffic accidents in just four days in Borgarfjörður, Berufjörður and Flúðir. We discuss road conditions and the state of the road system in general.
✨A tourist was rescued by helicopter after having been stuck in a storm for three days in his tent in the middle of the Icelandic highlands. In March. In Iceland. We ask: Why?
✨ The new Mayor of Reykjavík was harshly criticized by union leaders because of an extra $6000 she gets monthly for chairing the Icelandic Association of Local Authorities, which meets about twice a month. We discuss whether or not the Icelandic political class is collectively engaging in grifting.
✨ The new coalition government asked the public how they thought the Icelandic state could cut costs and increase efficiency. So, kinda like an Icelandic version of DOGE just without the whiff of the extra constitutional. The tangible results from the public input were released on Friday and unsurprisingly those on the receiving end of proposed cuts were not happy. We discuss the most vocally unhappy person so far, our Chief Justice.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And as with the rest of Europe, Iceland's security is now uncertain. Is the USA's promise to keep Iceland safe worth anything by now? Should we just invite Trump to join our new Sex Club?------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this episode, Valur and Andie Sophia talk about a murder in the north of Iceland--the third this year--not boding well for the rest of 2022.
Also, we have more information on the terrorism case, wherein the father of the chief of the national police had his home searched. This man is a major gun collector and seller in Iceland. As such, the national police have recused themselves from the case.
Finally, we talk about the recent fare hike for the capital area buses, electric cars, and the future of transport in Reykjavík.
