Reykjavík Marathon fundraising: The marathon tied to Culture Night has raised over ISK 285 million for charity, with thousands running and cheering along the route. President’s open house: Bessastaðir is welcoming the public during Culture Night, letting visitors tour the residence and parts of its art and literary collections. Mental health access: Iceland has rolled out a nationwide self-referral digital mental health service for children with anxiety, letting parents seek help without a doctor or school referral. Emergency response on Fimmvörðuháls: A major rescue operation was launched after a hiker fell ill in foggy conditions on the pass. Volcano-to-construction idea: Architects are exploring turning lava into building material, aiming for a future where molten rock could replace some traditional concrete.
