Icelandic Protestors Douse Parliament in Fancy Yogurt
Ashley Feinberg · 04/04/16 10:35PMIceland's PM Isn't Ready to Talk About the Panama Papers, Okay?
Ashley Feinberg · 04/04/16 01:59PMIt’s barely been 24 hours since the first Panama Papers reports hit, and things are already getting fun. Assuming you’re not Prime Minister of Iceland Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson, that is. Because judging by the way Gunnlaugsson stormed out of an interview with a Swedish news station, he’s got a few, uh... calls to make.

Rich Juzwiak · 04/16/14 11:40AMTom Mitchell so loves his penis that he calls it "Elmo" and wants to donate it—not for science, exactly, but for mass admiration. Coming in somewhere between a real, live Christopher Guest character and someone who'd be profiled on a TLC reality show, Mitchell is the clear star of directors Jonah Bekhor and Zach Math's The Final Member, a documentary about the Iceland Phallological Museum that opens Friday in select cities.

Adrian Chen · 07/16/13 11:38AMIf you do not follow Icelandic news closely you may have missed the fact that Ryan Gosling turned the island nation upside down this month. He'd arrived in Iceland on July 10th to work with the Icelandic editor of his directorial debut, How to Catch a Monster, and ended up being mistaken for a not insignificant number of the country's men.
Ed Snowden's Great Escape: An Annotated Guide
Max Read · 06/24/13 02:32PMOn Sunday morning, Edward Snowden boarded an Aeroflot flight in Hong Kong, landing in Moscow more than 13 hours later. We think. The truth is, no one's quite sure where the NSA leaker is—Moscow? Havana? Quito? Reykjavik? (He's not on Aeroflot Flight 180, we know that much.) But we can reconstruct his movements—and speculate where he's headed.

Seth Abramovitch · 09/19/11 12:28AMIceland to Debate Prescription-Only Cigarettes
Jeff Neumann · 07/05/11 06:17AMAs if Icelanders don't have enough to worry about — a virtually non-existant economy, frequent volcano flare ups and disturbing ways of celebrating husbands — the parliament is set to debate a new law that would make cigarettes only available by prescription. And here you are whining about how hard life is now that smoking in Central Park is banned.
