Sagenhaftes Island - Im Bann des Nordens
Noch niemand hat sich das Event gemerkt.
In the organizer's words:
Fabulous Iceland—Under the Spell of the North
Lecture by Olaf Krüger
But what makes Icelanders tick—this small nation that has produced gifted soccer players with their own battle cry and internationally acclaimed artists like Björk? To find out, the travel journalist and author takes part in boisterous sheep and horse drives, immerses himself in the Icelanders’ centuries-old bathing culture, and witnesses how harmless tourists are transformed into fearsome Vikings. Together with volcano enthusiast Kerstin Langenberger, he photographs massive lava eruptions, climbs into ice caves beneath Europe’s largest glacier, and hikes with his family through the wild Arctic wilderness. Despite all his enthusiasm, he does not gloss over the problems brought about by mass tourism, climate change, and questionable industrial projects. Iceland, this unique natural paradise, is much more fragile than we care to admit.

Lecture by Olaf Krüger
High in the north, just below the Arctic Circle, lies Iceland, the legendary island. Here, the elements come together to shape new land. Here, humans feel small in the face of overwhelming nature.
Since 2004, Olaf Krüger has been exploring this small island with great enthusiasm. He has now spent over a year there and gained deep insights into an astonishingly diverse country. His conclusion: “Iceland is a dream destination for photographers, nature lovers, and Northern Lights enthusiasts. For me, it’s one of the most beautiful countries on Earth!”
