Note that local time in Iceland is one hour behind Scandinavia at this time of year. Cancellation insurance is SEK 200 extra. Connecting flights may be booked through Islandia for those who need them (at extra charge, of course), as well as flights for participants from outside Scandinavia.

Participants will board a bus at Keflavik Airport Friday afternoon, shortly after the flights from Scandinavia have arrived, and head for the Blue Lagoon, a geothermal pool in the middle of a lava field, now one of Iceland's most popular tourist attractions. Bring your swimsuits! Those who might arrive earlier in the day from other parts of the world should make special arrangements with the organizers. Admission to the Blue Lagoon and dinner is approximately SEK 440 (this is included in the package, price). Those who do not wish to go to the Blue Lagoon must indicate this clearly at the time of reservation; they will be able to catch a bus from the airport directly to the hotel.

After the last talk on Saturday, participants are invited to the Árni Magnússon Institute on the university campus, for a guided tour of the ancient manuscripts preserved and studied there. These manuscripts, written in Iceland beginning in the 12th century, are considered national treasures. They contain the Sagas, historical accounts of the settlement of Iceland around 900 A.D. and the exploration of Greenland and the New World, as well as poetry, law, geography, and even mathematics!
