Hálslón Protest

A group of people collected at the National Power Company's headquarters this morning to protest against the filling of Hálslón lagoon this week. The group is trying to get a meeting with director Friðrik Sophusson to demand that the filling of the lagoon will be postponed, and also want the Icelandic Parliament to decide in the matter.

An organised protest walk led by TV personality and environmental activist Ómar Ragnarsson will take place tomorrow night at 20 in central Reykjavik. For further information on the Hálslón Lagoon read our article "Kárahnjúkar Elegy" in our latest issue and on this page.
