Happy Independence Day Iceland!!
Icelandic Independence Day is June 17. In 1944, Iceland declared full independence from the Danish crown. June 17 was chosen as the official holiday because it was the birthday of Jon Sigurdsson who is regarded as Iceland’s champion to the nationalist cause. Parades and events are held throughout the country, culminating in a spectacular fireworks show. www.visitreykjavik.is .
