Description[edit]
The glacetarium is designed so that the friends and inhabitants of the Acetarium can gather, relax and enjoy good company, often in geothermal pools, in Iceland. We'll cook meals, present talks, work on projects, and try to enjoy ourselves.
Participants are encouraged to bring their project ideas, books, games, and bottles of fine duty free whiskey. We will be trying to working with a local hacker space to hold a series of talks and presentations -- open to the public!

- Glacetarium/Packing list: Things folks should or might want to bring.

Useful Information[edit]

- The Ice Bar (made of real ice) is also just a few blocks away!
- We're thinking of going out to to the Vestmannaeyjar Fab Lab on the island of Heimaey
- Data safety when crossing the U.S. border
- Get a flu shot before you go, since flu activity is increasing in Europe
- There is a fablab at akranes http://fablabakranes.is/
Getting There[edit]
There seem to be two real options for folks flying to Iceland from the United States:
- Iceland Air which flies direct from Boston for $500 and up for a round trip ticket.
- Iceland Express which flies from Newark and can be as low at $300 for two one-way tickets.
There may be other options from Europe.
To the Flat from the Airport!
One group got a cab for 16,000kr. The flybus from the airport costs about 2,500kr. The flybus will let you off at BSi.
From BSi one can turn right onto Hringbraut and walk basically until the end of the road, at which point they can turn right onto Ananaust and Vesturgata.
Maps include:
- A non-google map that marks the apartment.
- A google map with both places marked and Google recommended driving directions.

We have found one landlord (Fridrik Magnusson) with a good deal of space in Reykjavik (address is Vesturgata 71 and Unit 73). He's trying to give us a good deal and seems pretty flexible. Currently the rundown includes three places:
- Flat 71: Can hold between 6-8 people in two bedrooms with a living room. One of the bedroom will have a few comfy mattresses in it.[1]
- Flat 73: Immediately next to Flat 71. It can hold up to 8 people. But it's only available between the 3rd and the 11th.
- Guest house: Although it's about a 20 minute walk away, there is also a guest house we can use to hold overflow. He'll rent it for the same per-person price if we can get at least 6 people. Otherwise, it should be a little more, but still affordable..
In both places, the landlord can provide a same day laundry service for an extra fee. Alternatively, you can bring enough clothes or wash by hands.

Flat 73[edit]
There is an apartment next door from the same landlord that can hold 10 people that will be available from the 3rd of January through the 13th. As soon as we get 4-5 people who've signed up for this, we'll put a deposit down to reserve the space for the whole period. Please sign up quickly so we can make sure we get it before someone else does!
Since the house is not available until 1/3, the owner said that we can stay at his other guest house (20-25mins away) until the 3rd for the same price. Let Mika or Mako know if you want to rent the place. Please add your name to the list in the next box if you'll need this.

Guest House/Other Options[edit]
If you need a room in the guest house, put requests down here. We'll try to aggregate these and get these to the landlord and will let folks know. We're currently under the impression that we will have plenty of space. The cost of the guest house will be 25USD/person/night:
- Hillary: 12/28 -> 1/1
- Erik: 12/28 -> /1/3
- Maalox: 12/31 ->1/3
- Niko: Night of the 2nd, would sleep on floor or on couch if it is easier/cheaper
- Paula and Jdub 12/31 -> 1/2
- Nate 12/30 -> 1/3
- Christine Corbett 1/3 -> 1/14
There are hostels and are other apartments for people that want to come for period from December 30 through January 1st. Folks can expect to pay between US $20-35 per night in shared apartment or hostel. Mako and Mika will not arrange these other accommodation though. Obviously, the bigger the place, the cheaper the per-person/per-night cost.
