AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Björk in Reykjavik: The National Gallery of Iceland has opened Björk’s major new “Echolalia” exhibition, running until 20 September, with immersive theatrical works built around reimagined “Fossora” tracks and new music, plus a summer solar-eclipse rave. Michelin Update: Iceland’s Michelin-star restaurants keep their 2026 stars, while “Lóla” is added as a recommended spot; Michelin also ends its Green Star program, affecting ÓX. Tourism Leadership: The European Travel Commission re-elected Miguel Sanz as president and named Iceland’s Arnar Már Ólafsson as vice president, with new industry associate members welcomed. Seismic Activity: A Hellisheiði swarm logged about 400 earthquakes, and a separate 4.5 quake struck near Mosfellsheiði, felt across the capital region. Air Travel Disruption: Icelandair canceled a Zurich flight due to staffing shortages amid a labor dispute. Marine Protection Gap: Iceland is on track for land biodiversity targets but is far from the 2030 marine protection goal, with only about 2% meeting the international definition. Business & Industry: Iceland Seafood International reported higher Q1 profit on strong cod and capelin sales, and Atlas Air agreed to buy a 49% stake in Air Atlanta to expand freighter capacity.
