We have been told we've been sleeping on Hafnarfjörður and their stance on various things.

But we've actually been trying to sleep with Hafnarfjörður, but Garðabær and Kópavogur are in the way, literally.

there is not a lot of advertisement for Iceland but a lot of advertisement for sweden and denmark!

I think most people (except muricans) wanna go locally, but they don't know where to go because there's not much information😔 Denmark is like the ultimate holiday paradise for norwegians, and Sweden the place where they can go to get cheap stuff ( ≧ᗜ≦)

I would love to go locally (to any country in general) but I don't know too much about other cities/places except Reykjavík, because it's the only city we hear anything about (◞‸ ◟)💧

From what I've heard from my mom, tourists from Scandinavia tend to be the best tourists, but I think it's because they also hate how American tourists are.

My biggest biggest tip is to simply stay for longer, travel slower, traveling super fast though iceland is what most tourists do and it's the exact reason that causes overtourism and it sucks

I've been to like so many cities and towns in iceland in my life, I come from Hafnarfjörður which is a town south of reykjavik, and I've been to húsavik, Akureyri and of course reykjavík and Hafnarfjörður. Most of them I visited as a kid, especially back when I still lived on iceland. Akureyri is very very beautiful, especially since it's up north of iceland. My mom grew up there on a farm.

If the only tourists were Scandinavians I think Icelanders wouldn't mind in the slightest, there wouldn't be as many problems as there are

And in my time living in norway..ive gone to Sweden and Denmark a handful of times and it is definitely that, I live close enough that I can take a boat to Denmark which is pretty fun and I've done so a few times. And I've driven to Sweden many many times because my amma (grandma) moved from iceland and has been living there. In the middle of the woods with her cats.

Actually. I am gonna talk about Keiko a bit because I’m sad today and…I love him and I think everyone is a little too harsh about his story. So let’s take a look at it.

Keiko the orca was the star in the 1993 film “Free Willy” alongside his human costar Jason Richter. How he came to be in that role is a rather long complicated and sad story I don’t want to dwell on all too much but the long and short of it is this: He was captured off the coast of Iceland in 1979, where he was then sold to the Icelandic Aquarium in Hafnarfjörður. Three years later he was sold to Marineland Ontario, of Kiska the loneliest whale in the world fame (they are reunited now may they both rest in peace). It’s reported that that’s when he started performing and under their care he developed skin lesions and became unappealing to the public so was sold to Reino Aventura, an amusement park in Mexico City, Mexico, in 1985.

Reino Aventura is the park featured in the film Free Willy, and the enclosure there is indeed Keiko’s real habitat that he lived in.

The interesting fact of the matter is that Keiko became the star of the movie because no American marine park (or any other park in North America) wanted to be featured in a film displaying how they kept their whales, and centered around freeing them. Reino Aventura had no such qualms. The cast and crew all became very attached to Keiko, as well as those at the marine park who cared for him. He was often sickly, housed in water too warm and in too small amounts for him. Simply put, Keiko was dying a slow and painful death. He was underweight and often experienced skin conditions.

I don’t feel the need to talk about the project to free him and how it came about everyone knows that.

What I do want to talk about is the excellent care he received after work began. He was rehabilitated in Oregon for a time, and grew stronger. Trained to hunt fish on his own and be a little more independent. In September of 1998 he was flown back to Iceland to spend time in a sea pen there where he could choose to come and go via the US Air Force.

Once in Iceland he spent some time in a sea pen, and then eventually chose on his own not to return to it. Many people speak misguidedly on the fact that Keiko never integrated with a pod. This is not fully true. Keiko spent much time around and in nearby pods, and was observed interacting as much as he wished to. In the Summer of 2002 Keiko disappeared, undergoing a migration to Norway alongside a pod of wild orcas. When he reappeared Skålvik Fjord he sported signs of even having tried to mate. Yes he sought out contact with human beings but that is not such a sad thing. He chose it on his own terms. He had freedom, and choices for the first time in his life ever. His caretakers relocated to Norway and continued to conduct boat-follows with Keiko for the next 15 months. On the basis of girth measurements and blood tests, it was assumed that Keiko had fed during his 900-mile (1500 km) journey from Iceland to Norway.

Keiko died of pneumonia in the winter of 2003, by one of his beloved caretakers sides. It was not a long nor a painful death, and pneumonia is often the claimer of many wild cetaceans. He lived to about 27, which is considerably longer than most orcas in captivity and very close to the wild lifespan. He was given many more years than he would have had if he’d stayed in Mexico.

The point is. I’m tired of everyone saying he only had 15 months of freedom when it simply isn’t true. He was in ocean water in his natural environment for upwards of five years, and never once seemed distressed by this fact. He enjoyed the last years of his life and we dishonor his legacy by implying otherwise. He was a beautiful and happy soul.

I highly recommend the documentary Keiko the Untold Story, a passion project put together by those who knew and loved him and worked passionately to give him the best life he could have.

Another day another story about a trans identified male committing sexually based crimes against minors and disabled adults

An Icelandic trans activist who held a top role at a national LGBT organization has been forced to resign following allegations he sexually harassed children online and raped a man with cognitive impairments. 

Þórhildur Sara Sveinbjörnsdóttir, 31, was chairman of the Community Council of Samtökin ’78, the National Queer Organization of Iceland. The Organization receives funding from the Government for providing consultation on LGBTQIA-related education and services, including lecturing on “gender diversity” at elementary schools to children as young as 10 years old around the country. In 2020, the government of Iceland’s capitol city of Reykjavík granted Samtökin ’78 a three-year contract for funding totaling 8,700,000 ISK per year.

But on November 24, Sveinbjörnsdóttir resigned from Samtökin ’78 following allegations that he had sexually harassed minors and sexually assaulted a mentally handicapped man.

Screenshots of interactions between Sveinbjörnsdóttir and children as young as 14 have been circulating on TikTok in recent days, after first being exposed by user @sveigjanleguron November 21. 

One of the screenshots documents an exchange with a learning disabled adult who describes his experience of being assaulted by Sveinbjörnsdóttir. According to the alleged victim, 

Sveinbjörnsdóttir had asked him to come with him to the washroom. The victim alleges that Sveinbjörnsdóttir then held him down and raped him orally and anally.

Other screenshots that are circulating are between Sveinbjörnsdóttir and underage girls.

“Just wanted to say how cute you are,” reads one text Sveinbjörnsdóttir sent to a minor. A young girl has come forward to corroborate the claims, stating that he had sexually harassed her when she was 13.

Samtökin 78 Chairman Álfur Birkir Bjarnason confirmed to local media that Sveinbjörnsdóttir had resigned on November 23, but refused to specify the reason. Reduxxreached out to the organization but has not received a response at the time of this publication. 

“Such cases go through a professional process according to our action plan against violence,” Bjarnason told the press. According to the publication, a formal complaint has been lodged with the police.

On November 25, Samtökin ’78 issued a public statement on their Facebook page addressing the concerns.

“The board received tips this week of allegations of sexual violence against children by the former chairman of the association … The volunteer in question has resigned,” reads the announcement, adding that the case was being investigated by police and that Sveinbjörnsdóttir “has never worked with children or young people” within the organization.

Sveinbjörnsdóttir briefly worked at a kindergarten for an unspecified period in September. 

The principal of Skarðshlíðar School in Hafnarfjörður, Ingibjargar Magnúsdóttir, confirmed that he had worked with children for a time, but would not say in what capacity or why he was no longer employed there.

Sveinbjörnsdóttir is a biological male who identifies as a lesbian woman. He “came out” as transgender in 2020, and was interviewed in lifestyle outlet Mannlíf in May of 2021 on his transition. 

“I’ve heard that the fat ratio in my body will change. I’ll probably get bigger hips and bigger breasts,” Sveinbjörnsdóttir said during the interview. “My skin will be softer and my voice will soften a little bit more.”

Previously, Sveinbjörnsdóttir had performed as a drag queen using the moniker Sapphire Morningstarr. A description on a Facebook profile dedicated to showcasing his events reads: “I am slutty yet elegant drag queen and if you’re lucky I’ll let you see my dark site [sic].”

In August of this year, Sveinbjörnsdóttir was profiled in national Icelandic news condemning the long waiting lists transgender people faced in the country for “gender affirming” treatments, including breast implants and genital surgeries.

Notably, Icelandic media is reporting on the allegations as though Sveinbjörnsdóttir were a woman. 

In one case, a news report published by Visir initially referred to him as a “trans woman,” but the article was quickly edited with the headline and lede being changed to instead refer to Sveinbjörnsdóttir as a “woman in her thirties.”

Speaking with Reduxx, an Icelandic LGB advocate, known as @justgayice on Twitter, called the situation “revolting” and said that Sveinbjörnsdóttir was a “predatory man” grooming young girls to eventually “meet up” in his Facebook videos and private messages. 

He also pointed out that prior to rebranding as a “queer” organization, Samtökin ’78 was known as the Lesbian And Gay Men’s Association.

“I think what we are seeing here might just be the tip of the iceberg. We are looking at major safeguarding flaws both within our educational sector and charity sector,” he said. “The National Queer Organization which was originally founded in 1978 to be a safe space and a community for a very marginalized group of homosexuals has evolved into a massive publicly funded Stonewall/Mermaids-esque organization focusing on ‘queer’ youth from at least age 10 and up with trans support groups for kids and teenagers being the main activity.”

@justgayice continued by noting that self-identification laws, which were introduced in the country in 2019, have “eliminated all hurdles” for predatory men, enabling them to simply register as women and more easily obtain access to victims. 

“The laws were introduced without a national discussion and almost without a parliamentary debate. One could argue our democracy is broken because of this ideology,” he added.

The sex self-identification policies implemented in Iceland would also allow Sveinbjörnsdóttir to be housed in a women’s prison if he were to ever to be formally prosecuted and convicted of the sexual offenses for which he stands accused. 

The measures were drafted in part by a man who identifies as a lesbian and uses the name Owl Fisher. Trans activist Ugla Stefanía Kristjönudóttir Jónsdóttir prompted outcry after he was profiled by Diva magazine, a lesbian publication, in June of 2018.
