FEIGUR SIGURSSON rfi: The Wasteland
translated by Lytton Smith ICELAND
The aircraft lifted itself from the ground at Reykjavk Airport. It was only the second time Id been on a plane. Id gone to Norway with my mother and father. Id never been to Reykjavk Airportnever flown domestically. I had a limited understanding of Iceland in my mind, and was exceedingly oblivious as to its character. Id taken a road trip around the country with my parents, but everything seemed so utterly identical I couldnt work out where I was at any given moment. The country felt somehow alien to me. I could conjure up a picture of Iceland but I couldnt place myself within that picture. Id gone all the way to Akureyri, but didnt have a clue where to find it on a map. And now I was headed to safjrur. I knew nothing about the place and was struggling to imagine what it would be like. I guessed the town would be some podunk place like Bardalur; given the name, it was safe to assume it must always be freezing cold there in ice fjord. I bet people had gardens full of dockweed.
