Prepare for a total blackout

Hey there, beloved High Five Club members and prospective members,

It's your friends at the Reykjavík Grapevine, popping back into your inbox with a hello from HQ and to share the the latest issue of the magazine, which hit newsstands across Iceland this morning.

Our cover feature takes a closer look at Iceland's system of submarine telecommunications cables, through which all of our data connectivity with the big wide world travels. What threats to the cables is the government currently monitoring? And what would life in Iceland look like if the cables went bust?

Read Catharine Fulton's feature article right here (Si apre in una nuova finestra). And take a peek below at the issue, with an amazing cover illustration by the wickedly talented Kosmonatka (Si apre in una nuova finestra).

That's it from us this week. As always, thanks for your support and your undying love.
