Environmentalists Plan Family Events

Environmentalist group Íslandsvinir (Friends of Iceland) have announced that they are planning a family-oriented series of events at Snæfell, near Kárahnjúkar, from 21 to 31 July. The events include taking a walk around the area that will be flooded by Hálslón - the reservoir that will be created by the Kárahnjúkar dam. Different environmentalist groups are expected to be there as well, to provide information on the effects heavy industry will have on Icelandic society and Europe's largest wilderness. - pfn
