Matís - öflugt þekkingarfyrirtæki sem sinnir fjölbreyttu rannsókna- þjónustu- og nýsköpunarstarfi í matvæla- og líftækniiðnaði
Matís er þekkingar- og rannsóknafyrirtæki sem vinnur að þróun og nýsköpun i matvælaiðnaði, líftækni og matvælaöryggi. Matís veitir ráðgjöf og þjónustu til fyrirtækja í sjávarútvegi og landbúnaði, sem og íslenska ríkinu. Sem dæmi kemur Matís að þróun á nýjum vörum og ferlum fyrir fyrirtæki og hefur mikilvægu hlutverki að gegna varðandi gæði og öryggi matvæla.
Á Hornafirði hefur Matís haft starfsstöð frá 2006. Starfstöðin er í þekkingarsetrinu Nýheimum sem er vettvangur skapandi samvinnu á svæðinu. Helstu áherslur í starfseminni á svæðinu felast í uppbyggingu á smáframleiðslu matvæla, útflutning á lifandi skel og krabbadýrum og rannsóknir á leturhumri.
Í nóvember 2008 var Matarsmiðja Matís opnuð í tengslum við starfsstöðina á Höfn. Í Matarsmiðju Matís býðst frumkvöðlum og litlum fyrirtækjum tækifæri til að stunda vöruþróun og hefja smáframleiðslu á matvælum gegn vægu leigugjaldi. Þannig spara þeir sér fjárfestingu í dýrum tækjabúnaði strax í upphafi rekstrar. Með þessu gefst einstakt tækifæri til að prófa sig áfram bæði við framleiðsluna og á markaði. Sérstök áhersla er á uppbyggingu í tengslum við staðbundin matvæli og matarferðaþjónustu.
Aðstaðan er hugsuð til notkunar á landsvísu. Forsenda þess að komast í aðstöðuna er að kaupa ráðgjöf um góða framleiðsluhætti í upphafi. Þannig munu notendur læra rétt vinnubrögð frá upphafi. Með aðstöðunni í Matarsmiðjunni á Hornafirði gefst einstakt tækifæri til nýsköpunar í smáframleiðslu matvæla. Nú þegar er fjöldi verkefna komin í gang í Matarsmiðjunni og koma frumkvöðlar m.a. úr Reykjavík til vöruþróunar og smáframleiðslu.

Vopnafjörður, Vopnafjordur, East Iceland
The village of Vopnafjörður is on Kolbeinstanga, with varied opportunities for relaxation and outdoor activities. Many marked walking trails lead through Vopnafjörður's natural pearls. One of them, the elephant, is a rock pillar on the east side of Vopnafjörður.
Two celebrations will be in Vopnafjörður in 2013: Vopnaskak, a family-oriented holiday with many activities, from 4.-7. July, and a cultural celebration, Once upon an August evening, in honor of the brothers Jónas and Jón Múla, held 5.-11. August.
Kaupvangur Cultural Center is worth a visit: visitor information, Kaupvangskaffi, Múlastofa (an exhibit about the life and music of two brothers, Jónas and Jón Múla), and East Iceland Emigration Center providing information about 19th century emigrants. The Kaupvangur is open 10:00 -- 18:00 daily in the summer.
In Hofsárdal is the old farm Bustarfell, one of Iceland's best-kept turf houses whose uniqueness lies in its clear image of farming practices and lifestyle from before 1770 until 1966. The museum is open daily through the summer, 10:00 -- 18:00. Café Croft is next door.
The golf course is nine holes whose layout is determined by its surroundings: steep hillside, diagonal layout and whimsical.
The Selárdal swimming pool, on the banks of the river where it runs through a shallow canyon, is famous for it's lovely surroundings. About 12 km. north of the village, open daily 7:00 -- 23:00.
Vopnafjörður's campground is small and peaceful, in a lovely setting overlooking the village. All basic services are available for vehicles, trailers and tenters.
Þéttbýlið Vopnafjörður stendur á Kolbeinstanga. Hér er fjöldi möguleika til afþreyingar og útivistar. Merktar gönguleiðar eru margar, fjölbreyttar og leiða á vit náttúruperla Vopnafjarðar. „Fíllinn, er ein þessara perla, steindrangur í austanverðum Vopnafirði.
Bæjarhátíðir Vopnafjarðar eru tvær sumarið 2013. Vopnaskak er fjölbreytt fjölskylduhátíð, haldinn dagana 4. -- 7. júlí. Menningarhátíðin „Einu sinni á ágústkveldi, er tileinkuð þeim bræðrum Jónasi og Jóni Múla og verður dagana 5.-11. ágúst.
Menningarsetur Vopnafjarðar, Kaupvangur, er áhugaverður staður að heimsækja. Þar má m.a. finna upplýsingamiðstöð ferðafólks, kaffihús og Múlastofu, safn um líf og list Jónasar og Jóns Múla. Þar er Vestufaramiðstöðin starfrækt sem veitir upplýsingar um tengsl og ættir Íslendinga við Vesturfara síns tíma. Húsið er opið frá kl. 10:00 -- 18:00 alla daga sumarsins.
Í Hofsárdal, stendur gamla ættarsetrið Bustarfell, einn af best varðveittu torfbæjum Íslands. Sérstaða safnsins felst í því glöggri miðlun breyttra búskapar- og lifnaðarhátta fólks allt frá því fyrir 1770 til þess er hætt var að búa í bænum árið 1966. Safnið er opið alla daga sumarsins frá 10:00 -- 18:00 sem og kaffihúsið Hjáleigan.
Golfvöllurinn er 9 holu völlur, sem legu sinna vegna hefur ákveðna sérstöðu - hæðótt landslag, skásneitt í tilfellum og fjölbreytt.
Selárdalslaug stendur við bakka Selár þar sem hún rennur í grunnu gljúfri. Leitun er að jafn fagurri staðsetningu fyrir sundlaug enda laugin rómuð fyrir umhverfi sitt. Laugin er um 12 km frá Vopnafjarðarkaupstað. Opnunartími er frá 07:00 -- 23:00.
Tjaldsvæði Vopnafjarðar er lítið en huggulegt, staðsett á fallegum stað ofarlega í þéttbýlinu norðanverðu. Öll grunnþjónusta við húsbíla og hverskonar tjöld.

Iceland Myvatn - Akureyri
Day 3 in Iceland and Day 2 of driving the ring road Hofn - Akureyri.
This was the most challenging driving day!! I don't recommend the driving route that the GPS took us purely due to the severity of the gravel roads which including driving up a mountain but I will admit it was the quickest route. Hofn - Djupivogur drive was good but Djupivogur - Egilsstaðir was the worst gravel road in the whole of Iceland & it was for the whole 90km! Google maps predicted an hour and a half drive... It took me 3 in my tiny Chevrolet. I was quicker driving Egilsstaðir - Myvatn which was 170km.
Stop 1: Myvatn Mud Pools
Stop 2: Myvatn Nature Baths (we did not pay to go in as we pre-booked the blue lagoon which was £20 more expensive)
Stop 3: Viti Crater (we had to drive back 9km from Myvatn Baths)
Stop 4: Godafoss Waterfall
Stop 5: Akureyri
Myvatn mud pools smelt of Sulphur & rotten eggs; this smell stuck with me the rest of the trip smelling it in the showers & tasting it in the tap water whilst brushing my teeth!
Accommodation: Akureyri Backpackers Hostel. This was the best hostel we stayed in! Great cooking & shower facilities. We stayed in a twin private room with shared bathroom - it was the cleanest place I have ever stayed in!! Full of life staying with 66 acapella singing Germans with a 6:00am shower sing a long. There free parking is on the street until 10am & we arrived at 8pm.

Magical Westfjords of Iceland - Wim Hof Retreat
When you plan something with all your heart, you can only have intentions towards the outcome.
Time passes and the magical event takes place, you go through it like a floating cloud, observing everything with eagle eyes, yet flashing through each moment, trying to download every second into the deepest part of your memory.
As the event passes, you relive it in multiple ways, bringing flashes into your present, making even your heart pause for a moment.
Then, you have the opportunity to watch a video that keeps it all SO MUCH alive. Capturing not only the scenery, the people, the space and time; but also the energy of how each moment felt: A total unique connection to ourselves, nature and the group throughout a whole week.
We are deeply grateful for this unforgettable experience teaching alongside Douwe. And also for the magical touch of this video by Frank Frames Things.
If this experience resonates with you, our next adventure takes us to the Glacier Nature of Iceland this September:
Lots of love,
Andri & Tanit
Javier swims full length of the pool
Javier finally did it. He managed to swim the full length of the pool without the help of the swim board for the very first time. Well done, Javier!
Jökulsárlón Glaciar Lagoon- Iceland with a Toddler
This video was filmed with this camera
and (at times) this microphone
This book was an excellent resource to have on our Iceland trip. I highly recommend it:
When I was planning our Iceland adventure, Jökulsárlón Glaciar lagoon was one of the things I was most excited about. The images I saw online jumped out at me, and I was ready to have my mind blown.
That was probably where things went wrong. My expectations were too unrealistic, and I would advise anyone who is tempted to share my enthusiasm to temper those expectations and go with the flow.
I had expected to be drifting through giant floating icebergs so close that I could sweep them with my hand, and feel transported to an arctic world. That’s not what happened.
I should say, very clearly, that this is a place worth visiting. It is beautiful, and unlike anything else you’ll find in most parts of the world.
If you have never been on an amphibious boat, you’ll think this is neat. If you didn’t stop at Sólheimajökull Glacier, you’ll probably love this.
The reality is that ultimately it’s a boat ride in a lake, at a quite reasonable and safe distance from small icebergs that are floating in the water. There is a guide, who provides some insight into the history and current status of the glacier and lagoon, and they give you a chip of glacier ice (which could be tens of thousands of years old) to suck on.
Spoiler: it tastes like clean water.
I really hate to be a downer about it, but the experience of going on the boat is not too different from the experience you have standing on the shore at the side of the lagoon. The price of boarding the boat isn’t terribly expensive, but it’s not cheap either. If you’re travelling on a budget, you may be better to save your money for other activities and view the lagoon from the shore.
If you want to have the experience of riding an amphibious boat in a glacier lagoon, then there probably isn’t a better place in the world to do that. The service is good, the boat seemed safe, and it really is beautiful. I believe the company running the tour did all they could to make it enjoyable.
Up next: Höfn
My wife Christina wrote a blog about our Iceland adventure:

Middle of May in the Beautiful Town Eskifjörður in Austurland, East Iceland
Eskifjörður is a charming seaside village in the middle of the Eastern Fjords. Eskifjörður became an official trading post in 1789 and has been a commercial centre ever since.
This video is taken in the middle of May.
Two mountains, Eskja and Hólmatindur, dominate the fjord. Hólmatindur - 985 meters above sea level - is the pride and joy of the locals.

Seltún Geothermal Area (Krýsuvík) - Iceland
Coordonnées: 63° 53' 49.064N 22° 3' 17.117W
Durée de l'activité: 01h30
Coût: Gratuit
Seltún se situe en Islande.Sur le panneau indicatif à l'entrée du site, il est indiqué que cette zone géothermique comporte des bassins de boue en ébullition et des évents de vapeur. La chaleur de la terre dépasse 200°C à 1000 mètres de profondeur.
Des passerelles de bois ont été installées pour se balader sur le site et il y a des postes d'observation sur plusieurs niveaux.
Il ne faut pas surtout pas s'écarter du chemin balisé à cause des risques de brûlure.
Le sol présente des couleurs intenses qui font la beauté du site. On peut y observer des sources chaudes et des marmites de boue, le tout accompagné d'une forte odeur de soufre.
Il y a également un sentier qui mène au sommet de la montagne. La pente est assez abrupte, mais les efforts sont récompensés lorsque l'on atteint le sommet. Le panorama est magnifique.
D'un côté on aperçoit entre autres, le lac Grænavatn de couleur émeraude et, de l'autre côté, nous avons une vision globale du site géothermique avec l'océan en arrière-plan.

Peter is EXTREME
Hekla is a stratovolcano located in the south of Iceland with a height of 1,491 metres (4,892 ft). Hekla is Iceland's most active volcano; over 20 eruptions have occurred in and around the volcano since 874. During the Middle Ages, Icelanders called the volcano the Gateway to Hell.
Landmannalaugar (Flying over Landmannalaugar Highland Iceland):
Landmannalaugar (Icelandic, meaning the people's pools) is a region near the volcano Hekla in southern section of Iceland's highlands.
The Landmannalaugar area is a popular tourist destination and hiking hub in Iceland's highlands. The area displays a number of unusual geological elements, like the multicolored rhyolite mountains and expansive lava fields, not far from the service center.
Fjadrarargljufur
Lakagígar
Laki or Lakagígar (Craters of Laki) is a volcanic fissure situated in the south of Iceland, not far from the canyon of Eldgjá and the small town Kirkjubæjarklaustur, in Skaftafell National Park.

Ice cave Kverkfjöll
The mountain range Kverkfjöll (1,764 m) is situated on the north-eastern border of the glacier Vatnajökull in Iceland. With their glacier Kverkjökull, they are to be found between the Vatnajökull and the Dyngjufjöll (s. Askja). The mountains are still active volcanoes. Especially around 1720, they were often erupting and causing glacier runs.
Under the mountains, there is a very big and hot magma chamber which lead to the originating of glacier caves. In the meantime, they cannot be visited any more because they could collapse.
Askja is a stratovolcano situated in a remote part of the central highlands of Iceland. The name Askja refers to a complex of nested calderas within the surrounding Dyngjufjöll mountains, which rise to 1,510 m (4,954 ft).
The region is only accessible for a few months of the year. Being situated in the rain-shadow to the NE of the Vatnajökull icecap, the area receives only about 450 mm of rainfall annually. The area was used during training for the Apollo program to prepare astronauts for potential lunar conditions.
Flying around Lake Mývatn in Iceland
Mývatn kúluskítur
Bird museum Myvatn lake
Hverarönd, Námaskard Myvatn
Mývatn is a shallow eutrophic lake situated in an area of active volcanism in the north of Iceland, not far from Krafla volcano. The lake and its surrounding wetlands have an exceptionally rich fauna of waterbirds, especially ducks.
Kerlingarfjöll (1,477 m (4,846 ft)) is a mountain range in Iceland situated in the Highlands of Iceland near the Kjölur highland road. The volcanic origin of these mountains is evidenced by the numerous hot springs and rivulets in the area. And indeed, they are part of a large volcano system of 100km² (38.6 square mile). The volcanoes of the range are tuyas.
