British/American living in Northern Iceland. Working at the local museum and library, in between learning Icelandic noun declensions and reading folk tales. 🌈🍉
I feel very disheartened and scared this morning after catching up on yesterday's news from the US. In these times it is important to look at our queer ancestors for strength....

The Icelandic word for echo is 'bergmál ' which translates to 'mountain language' because of the way sounds bounce off rocks.

That this fish locator is called 'bergmálstæki' or literally mountain language device in Icelandic is super funny to me.

Snow, snow and even more snow overnight here in Húsavík.

Nothing quite like being the first person in a museum, especially on a cold and dark Icelandic morning. This is the Maritime Museum, in Húsavík Iceland.
