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.

My Challenge...

Living on a remote reserve you would have thought that the wilderness, the distance to the nearest town, living in a different country with a different language and culture would be challenge enough.

Well not for me...the extra challenge I have set myself for the next 5 months is to try and become better in the kitchen. Hopefully without anyone developing food posioning, as the nearest hospital is a 45 minute drive away in Seyðisfjörður.

In the spirit of this I decided to try and take 4 bannanas that were slightly past their best and turn them into Bannana Bread.

Have a look at the photos and judge the success for yourself...


 Look at the concentration required!

  Bring on the oven!

Well it's not burnt, that's a start!

 It looks and tastes fine! (I'm as suprised as you are)

Taste Test - Izzy 'Mm....' (Honest!!)
