Our trip to Þingvellir National Park offered a breathtaking encounter with history and landscape, standing at the site of the world’s oldest parliament amid stunning Icelandic scenery.

What a ride it’s been. Organising the @antidote-network.bsky.social event took blood, sweat, tears, laughter, and love, and it’s been such a memorable experience to see it all come together successfully!

Grateful for everyone who made it happen. I'm already looking forward to next year 💙

Safn RÚV 🎥🎶

Í Safni RÚV er hægt að kafa ofan í einstakan gagnagrunn af íslensku menningarefni, bæði úr sjónvarpi og útvarpi. Nú stendur yfir umfangsmikil stafræning þess. Með stuðningi frá MSHL úr Innviðasjóði var hægt að senda yfir 12000 segulbönd og láta yfirfæra á stafrænt form.
