Marc Daniel Skibsted Volhardt is a professor at the University of Iceland who teaches Icelandic as a second language to foreigners. He was born and raised in Denmark but moved to Iceland because he likes it there. His role as an educator gives him interesting and insightful perspectives.

Alex Elliot is a journalist for the RUV. He is British but he moved to Iceland because of "a mysterious passion for the country and its culture that [he] can't quite explain" and has been there since 2005. He has an important point of view, as someone who works for the national broadcaster.

Micaela Leaska is a Saint Michael's College alumni who is completing her graduate degree in Climate Change and Global Sustainability  though SIT Graduate Institute. She has only been in the country for a few months, but her perspective as a foreigner is important. She was so helpful in putting me in contact with other sources.

Sveinbjörn Pálsson is the art director at the Reykjavík Grapevine, a free alternative magazine written in English. He is a native Icelander. His interview is brief but candid, giving perspectives on what it's like to be a journalist and "bachelor" in Iceland.

Catherine Chambers is the masters program director for Leaska's program, working in Ísafjörður. She has been in Iceland for 10 years: for graduate school research and since 2011, for work. Her interview gives us ideas about Iceland from the perspective of someone who lives in the Westfjords, a northwestern part of the country that is far away from the capital.

Jennifer Smith spends half of her time as an educational coordinator, and the other half as a fish salesperson in the fish shop that her partner, a native Icelander, owns. She has lived in Iceland for more than six years and holds dual US and UK citizenships (and hopefully Icelandic in the next 1-2 years). She referred me to a paper that she wrote about fishing quotas, a touchy subject in Iceland.

Peter Weiss is the director of University Centre of the Westfjords. He has dual citizenship for the Republic of Iceland and for the Republic of Bavaria. He first came to Iceland in 1987, for studying, and then started working at the University. English is his second language. He has a lot of great resources in his interview for links to explore.

Jón Nonni Friðriksson is a chef and assistant manager at his family's restaurant, Kaffi Borgir, and lives in a place called M'vatnssveit. His interview is in a very casual and lighthearted tone, which gives us a good idea of what a typical native Icelander's life is like. I met him through a friend of mine who couch surfed through Iceland and met him during her travels.
