Former president of Iceland guest of honour in post-cruise reception hosted by the Danish embassy.

Former president of Iceland, Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, honoured ROCS cruise participants with her presence at a reception at the Danish Embassy in Reykjavík shortly after they disembarked their research cruise to the Irminger Sea, Denmark Strait, and the Icelandic Basin in the North Atlantic Ocean. The reception was graciously hosted by the Danish ambassador in Iceland, Eva Egesborg Hansen, and included guests from Rannís, Hafró and ROCS’ steering committee. It was the perfect ending of a successful expedition.
