Iceland Saga pt.2: Green Glacier Stomp

Here is one of the early videos from super group Green Glacier. The group formed under mysterious and mythic circumstances, allegedly while on a road trip in Iceland. Their leaving is even said to have caused a volcanic eruption, which triggered another volcanic eruption, which shut down Europe’s air travel for over a week! So, of course, you need to know about this super group.

Here is their video Green Glacier Stomp, set to Led Zeppelin. The setting is the largest glacier in Europe the famed and dreaded Vatnajökull. There are some supplementary photos of life on the glacier below.

Of course it is green just below the ice. It is said that the green and the white are in an eternal struggle for supremacy. If one wins the world ends.

This is where we went snowmobiling. On the glacier. This may be where the super group Green Glacier formed. We are still trying to learn of their origins, ever veiled in mystery and controversy.

It may be that Thor and the Aesir battled the Frost Giants here. It just may be.

Iceland Sagas pt.1

Why is the sea salty?

Why are rocks so hard?

But why are some rocks soft?

Craters form like zits.
The earth’s epidermis begins to bubble with liquids.
The liquids seep out.
They leave behind a hole,
to mark their passing.

Or sometimes something just smashes into the outside.

Iceland

I am in Iceland right now. It is not icy in Reykjavik, but it is cold and moist.
On our way to glaciers and horses and snowmobiles and volcanoes.

My internet access is such that Thursday City and I are not on good terms at the moment,
so no images right now.

Coming soon.

Until then,
we search for the Northern Lights tonight.
We drink Viking beer with vikings.
We sit in hot tubs on horses with pints of Ale.
We spend too much money on fancy things.
We eat good bread.
We talk politics.
We do our part to inject Iceland’s economy with Liquidity.
We laugh at the fact that the Prime Minister of Iceland
works in a building that looks like a small hunting lodge.
We get not enough sleep.
