Gleðilegan Þjóðhátíðardagurinn!

Seventy five years ago, on June 17 1944, Iceland declared independence and freed itself from Danish rule. The Icelandic republic was restored after almost seven hundred years of foreign control.

Icelandic Independence Day (Þjóðhátíðardagurinn) is celebrated annually with parades and frivolity. More information can be found HERE.
