(Thomas Nilsen/The Independent Barents Observer) Europe’s longest dogsled race was supposed to mark its 40th anniversary, but the coronavirus pandemic forced the event to be cancelled. It is freezing cold in Finnmark this weekend with temperatures dropping down to -32°C in the Pasvik valley. A seriously hard challenge for mushers and the dogs, but it is exactly such conditions that since 1981 have attracted participants to race the 1,200 kilometers (745 miles) between Alta and Kirkenes and return. The pandemic, however, put a stop to the race, the organizer informs in a press release.

Iceland institutes new COVID-19 border measures

“We believe that requiring a negative PCR test prior to boarding is an effective and proportional requirement, especially in light of the fact that people now have good access to such testing in most countries in Europe,” says Iceland’s Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir, pictured here in 2018. (Hannibal Hanschke/Reuters) Iceland’s new border measures came into effect Friday, which requires all passengers to provide a negative COVID-19 PCR test that was taken within 72 hours of departure to the country. “By requiring every passenger to present a negative PCR test prior to boarding we are reducing the likelihood of a person starting a journey while unknowingly infected by the virus,” Iceland’s Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir said in a news release announcing the measures.
