AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

National Arena Update: Iceland’s new multi-purpose National Arena for Reykjavík is moving ahead after a winning design-and-build bid was selected; the project in Laugardalur is set at ISK 16.8 billion (with VAT) and aims to meet international standards for sport, concerts, and major events. Public Safety: A serious traffic accident in Reykholt, Borgarfjörður sent an Icelandic Coast Guard helicopter to airlift three injured people to Landspítali; two were cut from a vehicle. Weather Watch: Southwest Iceland is expected to be the warmest on June 17 (Iceland’s National Day), with highs around 12–14°C, though northeasterly winds and cloud cover are likely. Film & Gaming: Blumhouse and Atomic Monster’s live-action Dead by Daylight movie has locked in director Thordur Palsson and plans to begin filming in 2027, following the game’s 10th-anniversary stream. Whaling: Icelandic whaling firm Hvalur says it will resume fin whale hunts this summer after a two-year gap, drawing fresh criticism from conservation groups. Tourism & Local Life: Laugarás Lagoon reports 88,000 visitors since opening in October 2025, with Icelanders making up about 75% of guests so far.
