Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland, 1998

During the first weekend of August, the residents of Vestmannaeyjar celebrate Iceland's first constitution in bold Viking style—with fire, song, and plenty of drink. Democracy took root on this rocky island in 930 A.D., when the Althing, predecessor to today's parliament, first met. "Icelanders have no other king than the laws," wrote an 11th-century cleric, and the proud descendants of the country's original settlers remain fiercely independent.

Vestmannaeyjar,冰岛,1998
在八月的第一个周末,Vestmannaeyjar的居民以维京人的方式在庆祝冰岛的第一部宪法诞生:火、歌以及许多许多的酒。民主于公元930年在此多石的岛国扎根,当时的Althing就是现今议会的前身。“冰岛人不再有超越法律的国王”,一位11世纪的牧师写道。
