SUCCESSFUL EVENT IN HARPA
The Arctic Circle Secretariat can offer its
highest recommendation to Harpa Concert
Hall and Conference Centre, both concerning the
venue itself and its staff."
Ásdís Ólfsdóttir, CEO Arctic Circle
"The main theme this time (2023) is the connection
between climate change and the climate crisis, and
the fact that the glaciers and ice in the Arctic are
melting very rapidly, and that this melting already
has serious consequences for other continents."
