New Tours Show Spectacular Volcanic Activity in Iceland
Dramatic Volcanic Eruptions in Iceland
After observing continuous earthquakes for months in the vicinity of glaciers Eyjafjallajokull and Myrdalsjokull in southern Iceland, it came as no surprise when a volcanic eruption began on March 21st in Fimmvorduhals, a pass between the two glaciers. The mountain pass is a popular hiking site during the summer months. Iceland is a geologically young land and its location astride the Mid Atlantic Ridge and on the Iceland Hotspot means that it is highly geologically active and has many volcanoes. Eruptions occur on average every five years and also we have several eruptions beneath ice caps, which can generate glacial bursts, most recently in 1996. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian and North American Plates are moving apart, is partly responsible for this intense volcanic activity, along with Iceland being a hot spot, which means volcanism due to a rising mantle plume. The fissure 0,5 km long on the northern part of the pass. Due to a strong gale in the vicinity of the eruption it has not been easy to view it, but Reykjavik Excursions has set up evening tours for those who want to experience a once-in-a-lifetime sight.

Vikingbus vært for globalt GPN-netværksmøde
10-03-2010
Det verdensomspændende samarbejde af busoperatører – Global Passenger Network – har netop afholdt det halvårlige netværksmøde i København med Vikingbus som arrangør. Grækenland blev optaget ved mødet, således at samarbejdet nu består af 25 lande.
Den store danske busoperatør Paaske Bus har siden 2006 gennem Vikingbus været medlem af Global Passenger Network (GPN), der tilbyder adgang til 17.000 busser i USA, Europa og Asien.
Det betyder, at danske kunder enkelt og effektivt kan leje busser overtalt i verden. Fordelen ved GPN-konceptet er, at kunderne kun behøver én kontakt, hvad enten transportbehovet er Svendborg, Stockholm eller San Francisco. Herudover er korrespondancen på dansk, ligesom faktura vil blive fremsendt i danske kroner.
GPN-netværket tæller nu medlemmer i 25 lande. Vikingbus var vært for det netop afholdte 9. halvårlige netværks-møde. Det foregik på Marriott Copenhagen fra 3. til 5. marts. På det tre dage lange møde deltog busoperatører fra 18 lande og de kunne samtidig byde Grækenland velkommen som nyt land i netværket.
Målet med netværket er at bringe kvalitetsbevidste busoperatører sammen og i fællesskab udbyde det bedste inden for sikkerhed, service og kvalitet på verdensplan. GPNs medlemmer er eksperter i alle former for busservice – alt fra transfers, events og kongresser til flerdagesture. Det danske medlem Vikingbus er ikke ubekendt med at løse stort transportopgaver. Sidste år var selskabet bl.a. ansvarlig for transporten i forbindelse med IOC-topmødet i København samt World Business Summit on Climate Change, der blev afholdt i Bella Center i maj 2009.
I 2010 udstiller GPN på RDA Trade Fair i Køln fra d. 27. til d. 29. maj og på WTM i London fra d. 8. til d. 11. november. Det næste GPN-møde afholdes i Reykjavik, Island, i november 2010.

GPN Iceland: Sour-faced descendants of the vikings?
When tourists come to Iceland for the first time they sometimes complain about our bus drivers´ lack of smiling. It therefore comes as a pleasant surprise when they learn that these - most of the time – solemn and grave looking individuals are usually soft spoken and highly service minded. Being serious is for them being normal, not a statement of being grumpy or sour. An old Icelandic idiom states that a fool laughs at own joke and in Iceland nobody wants to be considered a fool. Living on the outskirts of Europe is a serious matter and quite different from the frivolous rest of the world. Being descendants of the Vikings also counts in being serious, the said probably didn´t smile a lot when they raided Lindisfarne in the eighth century. Winters in Iceland are long and dark, in Mid-December the daylight lasts less than 4 hours. Thanks to the Gulf Stream Icelandic winters are not as cold as one might think. All in all the Icelanders are a serious people, bus drivers no exception. The grave appearance is only skin deep though – once you start communicating, the barriers are easily broken and the real Icelander appears: Helpful, caring, warm-hearted and proud. Proud of being an Icelander and proud to work for a company that cares. Visit our web site www.re.is
