Dagur jarðar | Earth Day 2023

Posted on by

Dagur jarðar: Í dag er Dagur jarðar, dagur umhverfis og náttúruverndar. Sólríkur sumardagurinn fyrsti nýliðinn og full ástæða til að fagna vorinu, lífinu í sverðinum, farfuglunum og öllu þar á milli. Gleðilegt sumar!

Earth Day: Today is Earth Day. Last Thursday was the First Day of Summer in Iceland, the first day of the summer month Harpa, according to the Old Norse calendar – a national holiday and an absolute favorite day for every Icelander. All in all time to celebrate spring, the awakening vegetation, birdsong and brighter days. Happy sping days!

Gleðilegt sumar! Vorið var komið í Grasagarð Reykjavíkur í Laugardag þegar ég átti þar leið um síðast. Þar gala gaukar og þar spretta laukar. Tími birtu og endalausra náttúruundra.

Happy first day of summer – in Iceland! The annual public holiday, First Day of Summer, was celebrated on April 21st this year. It is celebrated on the first Thursday after 18 April (some time between 19–25 April) every year, marking the season of summer although it is actually early in the spring. And spring is here!
