The Reykjavík Grapevine, the city’s English-language newspaper, makes every issue available as a free PDF. The cover of Issue #16 (PDF) declares “Welcome to Icelandistan” and the editorial begins:
I think I speak for everyone here when I write this: HOLY FUCK! The last few weeks have wrecked more havoc on this country than anything that’s not directly caused by a natural disaster.
