RVK Newscast #132: Valli The Walrus & Elections

In this Newscast we visited Árbæjarsafn. And in our top news; elections are on Saturday. It’s been a slow campaign but it could be upended by smaller parties. The storm season has started, the weather has been cold and windy and could be getting even worse. There is no volcano at Askja … yet. And the US is about to open its borders for Europeans, which is great news for Icelandic airlines and the travel industry.

Note: Due to the effect the Coronavirus is having on tourism in Iceland, it’s become increasingly difficult for the Grapevine to survive. If you enjoy our content and want to help the Grapevine’s journalists do things like eat and pay rent, please consider joining our High Five Club.
