We are in the light news today. We go over the Icelandic connection with Afghanistan and the discussion in Iceland about the falling of Kabul. Vaccination is still going, numbers seem to be going down and restrictions are still pretty mild. This and more are in our newest Newscast today.

Walking tours of Reykjavík are scheduled in August with Valur and Bjartmar Alexandersson, (co-presenter of The Icelandic Perspective), as your guides. If you want to meet the guys – and Pollý – click this link.
