ÞJÓÐHÁTIÐARDAGURINN
Today, 17th of June, is Iceland's National Day. It commemorates the foundation of The Republic of Iceland on 17th of June 1944 and, therewith, celebrates the declaration of independence from Denmark. The date was chosen to coincide with the birthday of Jón Sigurðsson, a major figure of Icelandic culture and the leader of the 19th-century Icelandic independence movement.
And since we live on an island surrounded by the beautiful and wild North Atlantic, what place could be more fitting to celebrate this day than out at sea on Skjálfandi Bay, surrounded by whales, other wildlife, and the pristine beauty of Iceland's incredible nature?
