On the first day A scenic one-day hike along one of the traditional Westfjord's riding and hiking trails was on the schedule, the Álftafjarðarheiði heath, which lies at 725 metres above sea level.

The next morning featured a literary symposium at Hamrar Music Hall, where writers, scholars and composers met. Among the lecturers were Dr. Gauti Kristmannsson, docent in Aesthetics end translations at the University of Iceland and Matthew Patton, a Canadian composer, as well as Chris Crocker, Andrew McGillivray, Becky Forsythe og Elin Thordarson, who are all graduate students from the Icelandic Department of the University of Manitoba.

The last day was spent on a sailing trip with a stop in the island Vigur, where the visitors were introduced to the island's rich birdlife which it is well-known for, as well as for its beautiful nature, panoramic views and the charming old houses. Lunch was served in the so-called Viktoríuhús, where a lady called Viktoría resided during the latter part of the 1800‘s. Iceland´s smallest post office is to be found here, so many of the guests used the opportunity to send a postcard.

The event was truly a success and we hope to be able to offer a similar event next year, while the 2011 group of Icelandic Field School students stay here.
