RÚV has a liveblog with the latest news about the situation in English, Icelandic and Polish: https://www.ruv.is/english/2023-11-10-liveblog-reykjanes-pen...


Note that the Icelandic edition [1] understandably gets more frequent and timely updates than the others. If you're ready to put up with the quirks of machine translation, there's a lot more information there to see.

Your comment prompted me to look up how many Poles live in Iceland. Turns out they are the largest minority which is mildly surprising but shouldn’t be I guess.

When I started reading RÚV I wondered what the red and white flag was. My mind tried with “Greenland”, but Greenland because of the Nordic affiliation, but Greenland itself has a population of less than 60k, so how many greenlanders could there be in Iceland?

When the flag turned out to be Polish I had to turn to the Woodchuck Book and was surprised, just like you. I should have mentioned it. Thanks for the link.


I was recently in Iceland with some Polish-Canadian friends and they were amused by the number of Polish people we encountered.
