Personal

In my leisure time I do a fair bit of recreational diving. In Iceland there are a number of good dive sites, including geothermally active lakes and fissure diving between the North American and Eurasian continental plates.

I also study and play harp. I enjoy playing a range of styles, from classical to English traditional tunes and modern music. My weapon of choice is a 37-string lever harp made in Germany.
