Last herring refusing to leave Iceland
The Iceland Review has been quoted at this blog since 2006 and the editor, Eyglo and I know one another and exchange greetings. It’s the quaintness of the subject matter and the English employed to express it which I think I love most.
Today’s is no exception:
Attempts at pushing the surviving herring in Kolgrafafjörður, West Iceland, out of the fjord with low frequency sound have been unsuccessful.

According to manager of the marine resources division at the Icelandic Marine Research Institute (Hafró), Þorsteinn Sigurðsson, there are likely more than 200,000 tons of living herring in the fjord.
Specialists from Hafró are currently in Kolgrafafjörður considering other alternatives, visir.is reports.
An estimated 52,000 tons of herring died in the fjord.
And while we’re in the north, another topic.

If it’s a log with bark all the way round, which way is up and which way is down? I answered up on the DM survey and it seems that I’m with the majority for once as 76% said bark side up was the right way to stack wood.
One to remember for when our wood burning stove is installed in the next month or so. But then we’re going for kiln dried wood already stacked for us in a crate so maybe this is a non-question after all.
A vital issue, Rossa.
