	Privatization, Viking Style: Model or Misfortune?
		Though often referred to as "Vikings," Icelanders made their living for the most part through farming and trade, and violence was sporadic; thanks to the economic incentives provided by Iceland’s legal system, conflicts were settled in court more often than in combat.
		In other words, Icelandic cultural attitudes were causally irrelevant to the outcome; although the system the Icelanders ended up with was to their liking, they would have ended up with much the same system whether they liked it or not.
		By all evidence, Icelanders maintained their privatized political system, not because they were driven by poverty and necessity to do so (though Diamond apparently finds their system so uncongenial that he can conceive no other reason), but quite simply because it worked.

	Saline outflow from the Arctic Ocean
		Rather, the observations at this station may point to small-scale structure or fronts within the deep water, which were crossed during the time between the down- and upcasts.
		Regardless of uncertainty with respect to this station, it is clear that most of the type 3 water, which in potential temperature-salinity space lies extremely close to the properties of NSDW, could be formed by mixing between GSDW and water from the Arctic Ocean similar to that found at 2100 m at station 203.
		However, the properties of this water are extremely close to those of NSDW defined in Figure 4, suggesting that type classifications, mixing schemes, and water mass conceptualizations need to retain a certain flexibility.

		Saenger rightly points out that the caption could easily have been added by someone other than the scribe who drew the map, perhaps even in modern times by a book dealer who was hoping a buyer would discover the association between the two volumes.

	Stop Icelandic whaling \| Greenpeace International
		While denying that they have a commercial interest in hunting whales, the Icelandic Fisheries Ministry all but apologises at its website for the fact that it is "obliged" to sell the products of its scientific whaling programme under IWC regulations and international law.
		Iceland hasn't always been so worried about international law: they have conducted illegal hunts in the past, but have chosen to put a more respectable adverb on their activities, in preparation for a return to full-scale commercial whaling in 2006.
		They're under internal pressure to do so: the Icelandic Tourist Association demanded that the government not undertake any whaling programme unless it's legal, and Iceland's recent rejoining of the IWC appears to be part of a strategy to silence critics at home.

		In what is undeniably one of the largest and most unusual UPS packages ever sent to an airport, Keiko the whale of "Free Willy" fame left his home at the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport on Wednesday bound for Iceland.
		But besides the undeniable advantages of having a much larger sea pen in Iceland, the question of whether that environment can prepare Keiko to ever 'make it' in the real world of orcas is open to debate.
		While advocates of freeing Keiko point to the releases of numerous marine mammals in the past, such as captive dolphins, Trites is not so sure the track record is all that impressive.

		In the south of Iceland, between the Eyjafjöll and Fljótshlíð, in the area sloping up from Landeyjar toward the interior, is a wide expanse of plain.
		Bjarni, Iceland's most distinguished living poet, would naturally have found the subject a promising one: he himself had grown up at Hlíðarendi, had written a number of poems about Fljótshlíð, and was intimately acquainted with the geography of the area.
		In fact it is an extremely "big" poem in every respect but line-count (and even in line-count it is among Jónas's longer poems).
