Icelanders enjoy noisy New Year
GLITTERING CANOPY: Each year, Icelanders buy about 600 tonnes of fireworks, more than 1.5kg per person, and the New Year’s Eve displays follow a common timetable
AFP, REYKJAVIK
While New Year’s Eve fireworks are hardly rare, Icelanders take the tradition to breathtaking heights, firing the dazzling incendiary devices from back gardens, streets, hilltops or city parks across the Nordic island.
Iceland’s law provides a brief window, from Dec. 28 to Jan. 6, when buying and shooting off fireworks is allowed, and citizens buy more pyrotechnics in a week than most Europeans do all year all in the name of charity.
