Volcano-to-business resilience: Aurora Abalone’s CEO Vala Valthorsdottir says the company has moved from evacuation mode back to expansion after the Sundhnúkur eruption—feeding live abalone biomass again and finally getting delayed facility work finished, with a new farm planned in the Reykjanes research park. Eurovision boycott fallout: As Eurovision 2026 kicks off in Vienna, the Israel row keeps widening: Spain, Ireland and Slovenia won’t even broadcast the contest, while Ireland will air “Father Ted” instead of the final—on top of earlier withdrawals by Iceland and the Netherlands. Geopolitics on the move: A three-day Russia-Ukraine ceasefire ended with fresh drone strikes across Ukraine, hitting energy and civilian targets. AI infrastructure money: Nscale secured $790m for a major Narvik expansion, adding to earlier funding for Norway’s biggest AI data-centre buildout. Broadcast industry hiring: GatesAir named Russell Darrell Western Europe sales manager, covering Iceland and Greenland as broadcasters modernize transmission. Culture & politics: Palestinian musicians renewed calls for a Eurovision boycott under #VoteJustice4Palestine, framing the issue as “cultural genocide.”
