All set for good summer

Today marks the first day of Harpa, the first summer month of the old Icelandic calendar. This an official public holiday in celebration of the First Day of Summer in Iceland, Sumardagurinn fyrsti.

We are glad to announce that the summer 2013 in Iceland is set to be a good one. According to legend, people considered it a good sign if summer and winter ‘freeze together’ (if there was frost on the last night before summer). This was the case last night so we can expect many beautiful days and bright midsummer nights :-) ☼
