Sports Pathway: Texas A&M incoming freshman Brynja Knudsen has been invited to train with Iceland’s Women’s National U19 team ahead of the UEFA U19 Championship in late June, with group rivals Austria, Spain and Switzerland. Whaling Showdown: Anti-whaling campaigner Paul Watson says his “Operation 86” will return to Iceland this summer to protest Hvalur hf, as the 2026 quota is set at 150 fin whales and 168 minke whales and the government faces pressure over a promised autumn whaling ban. Tech & Audio: Spotify is rolling out an ElevenLabs-powered AI tool for authors to create audiobooks in beta from June, and it’s expanding “Spotify for Authors” into more languages including Icelandic. Travel & Routes: Alaska Airlines has launched daily Seattle–London Heathrow flights, and it’s also set to start seasonal Seattle–Reykjavík service on May 28. EU Politics: Betting odds for Iceland’s August 29 EU accession talks referendum have shifted toward “no,” after earlier markets leaned more evenly. Local Life: Reykjavík’s municipal election left the ruling coalition without a majority, with the Independence Party winning the most seats.
