Icelandic delicate meals

Part 2.
WATER
naja that is feeds not in such a way now however for it in vain:
Thus Iceland may be coldly and inhospitably unfruchtbar and ohmne oil however the wealth of this country lies in the water

this picture shows the rivers and lakes of Iceland. that-red does not need to disturb you, that is only from the lecture
thus a heap water. The first water the it you present can. if I the rivers see and the wasserfälle then wars I each time to thirst. then there also still those are Get, which cover 11% of the country again insanity mix.
and still the ocean.
One can drink the water from the lines, is however not necessarily always the very best. but point zweiist the warm water. which one must pump “only” from the soil. With approx. 86°C it flows then after reykjavik and permits it hot pots in the winter outside on a temperature from 41°C to to keep, or as here equivalent umdie hits a corner, the sidewalk to heat
the problem is that the water contains much H2S depending on where one in reykjavik is and with us is it already glaringly which one for a smell with rinses there against-struck. also the pH value is quite highly, like that around the 10, which is not dangerous now, but believes I not skin preserving and it feels very seifig. thus in-entire result: A benediction, and on sulfur I stand anyway.

still another horse picture

or katherl, congratulations on the VD

now however

so, now finally.
I begin with the last weekend. with my course “geochemical analysis” and two very motivated scientists are we driven off around two topic-order too investigate once wanted we the mixing proportion of groundwater with geothermalen wässern to examine. this in geysir, where a PAPER with analyses exists of course, this is however quite old. In addition we take not only the temperature, but also the content the most important volatile (CO2 and H2S) and the anions and cations, which we however only in run the term will determine. We thus on Friday with nem heap of stuff drove off, only a small stop with Nesjavellir, one of the power stations for Reykjavik made and have with one come there which gas of water phase separate rehearse directly from the borehole taken. The borehole had a depth of approx. 2km the water a pressure of 12bar, which causes a boiling temperature of approx. 200°C. one really notices thus here which for an energy in it puts there. then geschwind few rehearse taken, naturally cooled, so that the volume in the bottle does not shrink, and the negative pressure gasses from the water would float.

and in the evening then still one titrated.
the CO2 + H2S with one back acid cousin titration and the H2S with HgAc wenns interests.
on the next day then the whole somewhat longer in geysir, genuinly madly at this prestige place so scientifically, before all the H2S titration rumzuposen must one locally make and makes already which ago if one multicolored liquids has
then after 7 grant rehearse-take in cold weather titrate tititrieren…. we had 16 to rehearse and had for each for 2mal the two ttrationen to make. 8 hours concentrated work we used and the result were genuinly ok. only zw. 1-3 ppm deviations between two measurements.

sorry

but I must put off you times again, because I write still Icelandic examination tomorrow and mean aufsatz+ a take home exam make must am I degrees somewhat gestresst. to the comfort only one picture from the weekend with and until tomorrow press me the thumbs rehearse-collect!

only briefly

I in two will grant to next exkursion to break open over in geysir to rehearse to collect which we in Geochemical analysis around the results the Geological Society OF Iceland will then present (my first publication)
It becomes very arduous and very cold. here imagine from Reykjavík of Tuesday:
but I be pleased drauf. this week has I first time the feeling had I became a cold wars, has I however überwunden.puh!
looks calmly times on blog from my Brüderchen the Maxico, then see to her times the opposite of cold. On Monday gibts then delicate-eat new pictures and a new Icelandic one: Whale or water, which of both white I not yet. here I am again goodbye at the Atlantic and!

still a few pictures of the west fjords

and the whole then still in motion and sharply!

To the last weekend

Thus on Saturday was I genuinly with difficulty on the way. Only trip with the exchange students to traditional sheep auseinanderfriemeln. The sheep into a round enclosure gescheucht after it the whole summer in the landscape are rumgehoppelt. here then all help to find together the sheep those the respective farmer to belong. Children old dte rodents all have their fun, only the sheep fandens believe I quite stressig more immmer by the area gescheucht and to be geschleift. then the golden circle: Geysir
the still spitting strokkur

and gullfoss

only times my slides wait off…
then in the evening something about which I in the column reports above.
and afterwards party. if one strives oneself somewhat gives, then it is by the way to be become feasiblly in Iceland drunk. one must before spend on it in national alcohol there the business and enormous sums on something beer. here a somewhat bad picture of more erdinger in vín bud. the price are by the way 305kr= 3,92€ per bottle in the business.

wine costs in such a way starting from 1000kr/liter for the cheapest and normal beer 200kr per half. the cheapest hard alkene is believes I Brennívín, for approx. 1600kr the half litre. to the memory, 80kr=1€
naja for it we were then last end in sírkus, the coolsten club of Iceland, where one always hardly clean-come because türsteherin is nevertheless very strict. First time that I where did not clean-come… glaringly. naja, cool evening. then on the next day at noon quite broken risen and to the Ambassador gone, that made ne choice party, brezen with BECKs and mmmh!
and there watch television was, so that I can say times to my grandchildren: I was in evening-realign (even if one saw me only at the edge. www.ruv.is in realign to 18. around 19.00Uhr, I wear a touched pulli)
I could not by the way select because these bums me mine letter not to have sent. and were probably very many in such a way. degree wenns is so important
uff. antsrengend wars.

uff now I have however which to retrieve

As first some more over mine at home: I pushed together my to bed and now have I really a giant bed (yeah!)

and the room is actually as cleared up most as in the picture, even if ihrs does not believe. The social center is naturally the kitchen here is (s) t actually always who and if one to talk wants is that the best place. but if several want to cook then are it nevertheless somewhat too small.

and now a few people from wg, not all however those are still nchgereicht.

Yvan from France, studies philosophy, reads all the time thick world literature and lives also in the cellar


Jacqueline from Holland eats gladly Pizza with apple mash and has a hinreissenden Dutch accent

WAD from Norway, sportily quietly and very nicely (I believe toast with this Norwegian fish paste from the tube to favourite meals)

Anna Sophie from Denmark, knits, hears good music, is a workhorse and nevertheless always in a good mood,

English also sometimes Rob from England, calmly, somewhat shyly, and in the meantime I understand its super sounding. three times tägl. dte and for breakfast beans!

thus wars with people present for today however the remainder come soon. all are very nice and with eat are stop remarkably because we always in the kitchen meet.

Shit to technology

Only briefly two things from cip the pool in askja, 1. that is broken Internet in guesthouse, therefore there could be shortly a small period of reduced circumstances, secondly: I the Trackbacks forbade and do not hope that now any longer am so glaringly gespamt.

work

I am back of the Auslflug on weekend and have some to report in such a way.
Unfortunately I do not have digital pictures because I my mobile phone forgot. On Saturday we are very early to get over half six broken open around also the ferry the weather were ok, it to some extent did not rain. then we are three grant ferry drove at a mini island with perhaps 50 inhabitants holding briefly really begin the isolation here, why humans settle here are me incomprehensible, it are completely beautifully however except fish, a few birds, aleinem whale and there are mosquitoes here nothing as water.
then we held and are to one place with 12Ma old plant fossils gone. Insanity, and say I as the not largest Paläo friend. Where one looked old wood, and sheets, 1a received and white above of Diatomeen and down black carbon. I did not touch the wall to destroy umnichts but which there alone because of the soil was everything was really beautifully.
Afterwards we looked at ourselves times again a Wasserfall. One thinks, naja wasserfall knows I nevertheless slowly. But this met times again all expectations. We have ourselves felt like fictions in fieberfantasien one to thirst-end humans in the desert. And and the juicy green from the Moos knows these Wassermassen, this blue, and then the enormous valley of the fjord to feet. That makes me each time thirsty, and the water could not taste better.
In the evening still to a beach and seals kucken. crazy more viecher! genuinly quaint. and again another landscape: White sand beach flat Watt.
On the next day before all the westernmost point of Europe was mad, because this falls high cliff in a 440m into the Atlantic. In Fantasti weather we enjoyed the sunset here, before we drove into the hut.
and after dinner gabs still another Dessert: Polar lights!
only a narrow green volume at the starlit sky, already spectacularly however hardly in motion, but within minutes swelled it on, zwirbelte themselves together and twitched over our heads, one could see correct like small particles on the atmosphere to sizzle and this fireworks cause. hopefully I see soon again which to insanity.

after the return trip am I still to the auditory of the university choir a scale gone before-sang and had been actually taken! Today the first sample was and there comes some to me, many Parties, twice the week rehearses equal, and sing on ísländisch, conductors learn which to understand and know more isländer. but the songs are very beautiful and I believe that become super.

naja now have ichs times again created me murder work aufzubrummmen. kor, then I must write still nen essay over Katla to language course (already again stressig concerns oneself) (10 sides on English TC?!) and then still ne exkursion analysis methods geochemical for the course. Thus Spassige work and of it enough. Actually I did not want to look for also still ne work however nachtem the obercdladen of reykjavik anybody need, become I first times abwartenob I at all time have. in this CD shop (thanks for the tip elskan mín, it gives it still) I today the new sigur rós bought.

Icelandic delicate meals consequence 1: Milk products

Welcomely to my first series!
Here I will present the miracle world of Icelandic meal, and today we begin with which leaking rem,
Milk products
There are not many things, which are not twice as expensive as in Germany in Iceland. But milk can one lead oneself. Milk, mjólk is finds I particularly lecker, irgentwie here more aromatic. Then gibts still the world-famous skyr, a kind yogurt or quark or irgentwo between them. very lecker, cremigund very much satisfying. gibts in verschiednen geschmacksrchtungen, but I find traditionellenskyr best with brown sugar and something the milk still. and with each cup participates a small spoon, which one can fold up. then still my daily breakfast, súrmjólk, sour milk, like yogurt however somewhat liquid and more sourly. perfectly to tomorrow with special k and brown sugar.

The university

Thus the university is also differently here. Everything with computers is really well developed. There is a university side named Ugla (=Eule) those the “best friend of the student” will is. But contrary to campus addresses to lmu and even to the Internet the offers do has it good chances. All buildings have W-lan and it to be located in each building reliably min. of 40-100 computers in cip laboratories for free use, ugla offer storage location, administered pressure contingent, accommodate all skripten, communicate changes in the time table, informed about telephone numbers of students, have a calendar, send the results, if desired by sms!!!
thus genuinly well.
the professors know all well English the lectures are however partly boring, it are that e.g. prof this morning on the seismometer díe newest earthquakes today in Katla, that to time hottest volcano of Iceland. at the incoming goods we plan one trip into the west fjords, thus thumbs press for the weather. letzetn meet was fantastic weather, and I was twice with the novel at the port fish

those are by the way kormorane.
in addition we were at the sea, where warm water is pumped to one betonpott in the cold water, one can then in the sea in 20° warm water bathe. but us are in the meantime 20 much too few, because we are accustomed 40-50 from hot pots, which give it in each swimming pool.
a mad einrichtug, directly over hits a corner from me is a swimming pool and yesterday after that runs (at that coast with sunset, fresh air is pumped one to the lung and one looks either to direction Greenland toward the ocean or toward board-saves!!!!)

times bischen which over Iceland

Thus ersmal I must report still of Friday, where we had only our introduction meeting with all foreigners 300insgesamt. Thus a completely beautiful quantity. I believe those were like many we are also surprised. I hope fold now everything with the language course and my registration and in such a way. then the Isländer has called whether I around 6uhr on the mountain Esja, the mountain equal with Reykjavík to also go wants. Obviously. at the mountain we met then still the boss of the red cross Iceland and a Österreichishe friend, who worked straight 12Jahre as delegated at the red cross and in the hottest crisis areas of the earth prisoner interviewt. Also in Bagdad. Thus all very fascinating people. Then as it at home have they set me off me still ne bag with nem sixpack beer and nem jug giving as introduction gift!!
then in the evening foreigner party was, naja was drunk stop much.

Rekjavík is a really fascinating city. On the one hand small and village, on the other hand world-urban. Is remarkable that the population is noticeably younger. All work, then seems it by young people is done. which does to the tendency infinitely well. Postmen and Politessen, waiters and building workers are often young hippe people under 30. Also many children are remarkable in the city. In the evening the hell is the matter, and which is clubs, despite the prices always fully. But perhaps that is because of the fact that they are so good.
The lectures please me up to now completely well, since that times which other one is. I hear lectures on economics, history and geography of Iceland, and experience so the country totally differently than it a tourist would do. @Silent Narrator: I repaired my guitar and wrote already bischen Lyrics last night. in addition I know 5Gitarristen from our course and with one already become I a bischen jammen.
here the view of Esja of the balcony super of a Gallerie at the Laugavegur

drawn in

I live now thus in the center of 101 Reykjavík.
the dwelling is half well half bad. it is bad that we too sechzehnt ourselves a kitchen divide, and this so enormous and well equipped is not. in addition it is not cheaply, rather with the most expensive student's digs. in addition I live in soutterrain. i.e. not very brightly. predivide are that here so many people from all nations are, Frenchmen Belgians more skandinavier,…. the room is large and good. and the situation is ingeniously, only 300m up to laugavegur, the road in Reykjavik. yesterday we were still on nem concert, have none occur cost however bound gerockt glaringly. two types with computer and guitar glaringly verse desk.

university

I will now then into the next grants into my dwelling to draw! I must wait only for katla, because nice-proves me drives. as long as still another short message because I yet does not know, pointed there with the Internet looks. the lectures began thus and we to have a 3-Wochen Crash course over Iceland with all aspects. today a lecture on the Paläo climate on the basis tertiary Flora naja paläo was not ever my thing, then a lecture on settling Iceland. very interesting. We have lectures in different to vacate however often in the science building, the Askja, sow-modern and super+beautiful architecture equal beside the Norraena Húsid.
with the people I befriend slowly to odermerke with whom I not so much time spend itself must. one is novel from Tübingen, with which I sit here in kaffi the Mokka. for you Anna.
but there are also many other nice!
yesterday we played together frisbee. with and crews, super regulate spassiges play and sow excitingly. today we perhaps still go on a concert. times look. thus first times everything well here and I waits times for the everyday life.
