Icelandic Feel.

My ambient music obsessed roommate Netflixed the Sigur Ros film, Heima. It documents the Icelandic post-rock band through their 2006 tour. So after a long day of glacial snowshoeing (no joke) we had a screening. It’s a beautifully shot film with lots of ethereal images of the band performing in the countryside as demonstrations on environmental conversation.

Besides the gorgeous scenery something that caught my eye was this sweater that one musician is wearing (far left). It must be the Official Sweater of Iceland because in every crowd scene multiple Icelanders are wearing it!

I feel that Alaska and Iceland are kindred spirits--the geological features and weather are similar, especially to Valdez. So many shots could have been taken up in Thompson Pass.

What do you think is the official sweater of Valdez?

I'll have to do a post about fishermen pullovers later!
