Treasure hunters searching for Nazi loot in Icelandic waters must provide reports, as law requires

The Icelandic Environment Agency has given treasure hunters who had attempted to salvage unidentified valuables from a German merchant vessel SS Minden which sank in Icelandic waters a week to turn in a final report on their operations.

Mysterious treasure hunters

The company Advanced Marine Services Ltd. had been granted permission to conduct a search of the wreckage deep SE off the coast of Iceland in the summer of 2017, but were allowed to continue the search in July. The local newspaper Fréttablaðið reports that the treasure hunters have already exceeded the legal deadline on turning in a final report on the search as required by law.

The Nordic Resistance Movement write history in Iceland

September 7, 2019

ACTIVISM. On Thursday the Nordic Resistance Movement held its first public activity on Iceland.

The Nordic Resistance Movement has been established in Iceland for some time, just as it has been in the rest of the Nordics. Since its establishment, the Icelandic branch has continued to grow, and as such it was high time for the first public activity in the country. This took place on 5 September in the capital Reykjavik. Over twenty activists set up in the city centre with two flags and distributed leaflets.

Racist Propaganda Distributed at University of Iceland


Nov 7, 2019

Racist propaganda has been distributed at the University of Iceland, causing the rector of the University, Jón Atli Benediktsson, to post this message on his Facebook page:

“Equal rights are the guiding light at work at the University of Iceland and the basis for diversity and respect in the university community. This is why I’m saddened to see that an organization of nationalists has in recent days distributed hateful and racist messages on campus. This won’t be tolerated. At the University of Iceland, everyone should feel secure, and we should all help to ensure that there is respect for the diversity of mankind.

I have asked caretakers of the University’s property to be on the alert and to throw all racist propaganda where it belongs – in the trash.”

Book calling Holocausts a hoax to hit Icelandic book stores for Christmas

Denying the Holocaust is not illegal in Iceland, but the Association of Icelandic Book Publishers has the means to intervene to stop the book’s sales

NOVEMBER 4, 2020

An Icelandic company has plunged the country’s publishing industry into a debate about censorship with its plan to publish a 1976 book that argues the Holocaust is a hoax.

The book, an Icelandic-language translation of “The Hoax of the Twentieth Century: The Case Against the Presumed Extermination of European Jewry” by Arthur Butz, is being advertised online ahead of its launch in the coming weeks, in time for the Christmas shopping period, the news site Visir reported Wednesday.

Separately, the city of Malmo in Sweden last week suspended its ties to an association called the Arab Book Fair, which puts on events across Europe. The suspension follows the flagging of anti-Semitic literature at previous fairs and on the fair’s website, the Simon Wiesenthal Center wrote in a statement.

Iceland Limits Communication With Russia




Vala Hafstað

Icelandic authorities have decided to limit communication, cooperation and meetings with the representatives of Russian authorities — bilateral, regional and multilateral — due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Morgunblaðið reports.

This is done in consultation with Iceland’s closest partner states and allies, according to a government news release. In addition, Iceland participates fully in sanctions against Russia.

Russia has temporarily been excluded from participation in numerous international institutions of which Iceland is member. Russia currently heads the Arctic Council, but March 3, other members of the Council issued a statement condemning Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine:

“The core principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity, based on international law, have long underpinned the work of the Arctic Council, a forum which Russia currently chairs,” the statement reads. “In light of Russia’s flagrant violation of these principles, our representatives will not travel to Russia for meetings of the Arctic Council. Additionally, our states are temporarily pausing participation in all meetings of the Council and its subsidiary bodies, pending consideration of the necessary modalities that can allow us to continue the Council’s important work in view of the current circumstances.”

Council of Europe Anti-racism Commission to prepare report on Iceland

18 October 2022

A delegation of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) visited Iceland from 10 to 13 October 2022 as the first step in the preparation of a monitoring report.

The delegation held meetings with representatives of the government, local authorities, the Parliamentary Ombudsman, civil society and trade unions, as well as independent legal specialists, in the capital and during field visits in Reykjavík and Reykjanesbær. During these meetings and field visits, ECRI’s delegation gathered information on effective equality and access to rights; hate speech and hate-motivated violence; as well as integration and inclusion.

Following this visit, ECRI will adopt a report in 2023 in which it will make a new set of recommendations on measures to be taken by the authorities to prevent and combat racism and intolerance in the country. The implementation of two priority recommendations will be reviewed in two years’ time as part of ECRI’s interim follow-up procedure.

In its 2016 report, ECRI highlighted, among other issues, the need to enact comprehensive antidiscrimination legislation. It also recommended that the authorities ensure that their statistics contain all instances of racist, homo- and transphobic criminal offences.

An Icelandic army is not on the agenda

Minister of Foreign Affairs Þórdís Kolbrún Reykfjörð Gylfadóttir tells mbl.is that it is not time to establish a military force in Iceland and it has not been seriously discussed within the government. Infinitely, however, the government has talked a lot about defense, especially after the Russian invasion of Ukraine over a year ago.

In Saturday’s issue of Morgunblaðið, former defence bureau chief Arnór Sigurjónsson was interviewed about his newly released book Icelandic Army, Changed World – a New Reality. He believes that it should be discussed seriously and that Icelandic army should be formed to ensure the country’s security and defenses for the future.

Iceland downgrades volcano threat level as activity appears to end


Officials say no visible movement at site near Grindavík but it is possible lava may still be flowing underneath

Staff and agencies in Reykjavik
Fri 22 Dec 2023 17.49 CET

Authorities in Iceland have downgraded the threat level from the volcano that erupted earlier this week, as officials said they could no longer observe volcanic activity at the site of the eruption.

The eruption on Monday opened a fissure in the ground about 2.5 miles (4km) long, spewing orange lava into the sky only 2 miles from the town of Grindavík.

“Volcanic activity seems to have come to an end late yesterday night or early that morning,” the Icelandic meteorological office (IMO) said on Friday, adding no activity had been visible during surveillance flights.

“Despite that, it is possible that lava is flowing underneath ... and therefore it is not possible to say that the eruption is over,” it said.
