Skálanes is a private sector nature and heritage centre within a 1250 hectare nature reserve in East Iceland, 16km from the nearest town of Seyðisfjörður. For the next 5 months (April -September 2011) I will be working as a Ranger on the reserve, undertaking practical management, monitoring wildlife and leading volunteer groups.

During my time at Skálanes I aim to try and keep a regular diary of my work on the reserve and my life in this beautiful and wild country. This blog is mainly aimed at my family and friends, but I also hope it will appeal to anyone who might be interested in nature conservation.

D-Day...

Location: Inverclyde

A couple of hours to go as my flight isn't until 14:20, but finally the day has come to return to Iceland.  Clothes and gear are all packed, eventually and with some persuasion, and everything seems to be in order.

I'm not sure what the internet situation is like out at Skalanes yet, as we will probably be using slow mobile internet, but I will try and post a blog at the first opportunity. Even if it means having to stop off at Skaftafell to use the broadband and have tea/cake! (Awful I know!)

Anyway...time to get some sleep before the travels ahead.

Skalanes Updates: Coming Soon!
