"Iceland might just have the perfect solution for cooling off heated political
debate: activists there have been bidding to secure a seat of power for one of
its most famous glaciers by making it president.
Snæfellsjökull is a glacier-capped volcano in western Iceland. It’s thought to
be around 700,000 years old, but campaigners say that at the current rate of
melting it could vanish altogether within the next half a century.
Aiming to position the climate crisis centre stage in Iceland’s presidential
election on 1 June, they set out to have Snæfellsjökull’s glacier included on
the ballot. Although they ultimately failed to garner sufficient signatures in
support of the nomination, activists behind the candidacy bid say it’s just the
beginning."
