Sunday November 3rd at 3 pm Laugarnes Gathering
Laugarnes­tangi pen­insula is the last un­built sect­ion of the hist­oric­al Laugar­nes farm, which reach­es back to the time of the Nordic settle­ment and once oc­cup­ied the maj­ority of the cur­rent Reykja­vík area. There is the only un­spoil­ed beach on the north coast of Reykja­vík, it is a bird sanct­uary and there are ar­eas with rela­tive­ly nat­ural vege­tat­ion intert­wined with ruins and fields from over 1000 years of farm­ing, mak­ing Laugar­nes­tangi the most com­plete and im­port­ant area of cult­ur­al land­scape in Reykjavík.
    Attempts have been made to design the Laugarnes­tangi for build­ings and maj­or roads but well­-wish­ers have so far suc­ceed­ed in avert­ing it. Cur­rently the area is being nar­row­ed with em­bank­ments and plans for high buildings.
    The goal of the resi­dents' as­sociat­ion "Friends of Laugar­nes" is for Laugarnes­tangi to be formally pro­tect­ed as a nat­ural and heritage site with­in the city of Reykja­vík.
    Admission to the museum will be free on this day and there will be signup lists in support of the demand for pro­tect­ion. Furth­er program will be an­nounce­d here later.
