Real estate prices rise in Reykjavik, and Skólavörðustígur, one of the city's most covetous streets, cascades down from the church of Hallgrímskirkja.

A gorgeous penthouse on Skólavörðustígur measuring 119 square meters is now on sale. It is certainly not inexpensive, at ISK 110 million, which means every square meter is less than one million kronas.

Reportedly, Icelander Blacklisted for critical article in China!
Vísir reports that an Icelandic lawyer was blacklisted by the Chinese authorities for a critical article he wrote about real estate belonging to the Chinese embassy and its management of the pandemic.
The blacklist means that the author of the article, Jónas Haraldsson, can not travel to China and may have his assets frozen in China. This decision was announced on Wednesday to Gunnar Snorri Gunnarsson, Iceland's Chinese ambassador, and he was called to a meeting at the ministry of foreign affairs where he received the news.
Guðlaugur — Foreign Affairs Minister of Iceland Guðlaugur — told reporters that punishing people for exercising their freedom of expression in countries where freedoms are protected was inappropriate.
"I believe, politically, that it is totally unacceptable for an Icelandic citizen just to exercise their freedom of expression," he said. "It's unacceptable, of course. We made this clear in Beijing and here in Reykjavík with the Chinese authorities immediately."
Despite this, Guðlaugur ¯s opinion on the matter is not that Chinese authorities will change.
"I want to emphasize that this is a person who only exercises his freedom of speech and freedom of speech in Iceland," he said. "That's how it is and it's going to be like that. It's not a good feeling of course when we get such a message." In Iceland, nearly twice as many women work in fields that require education or expertise as men, reports Fréttablaðið.
In the labor market, this is almost 67% of women, compared to 39% of men.

There are more women in different sectors.
17% of women are employed in education when examined, compared to only 6% of men in the same area.
19% of women work in the areas of health and social work, while only 5% of men do the same work.
Women are also more numerous in different sectors such as financing, insurance, property and government, while men are more numerous in the information, technology and scientific sectors. In agriculture, fishing, manufacturing and construction, there are also many more men.
The gender ratio of men and women in the arts is more or less the same, with fewer than 4% of men and women in this sector working.
