Important! 
Today, on the first of December 100 years ago, the agreement confirming Iceland as a sovereign state/nation was signed between the Kingdom of Denmark and (the Danish colony of) Iceland. For the first time, we finally had our own national flag that was hoisted up. 

Unfortunately, many did not attend the ceremonies that day as Iceland had gone through many tragedies that year. There was the Great Frost (Frostaveturinn mikli), a volcano had erupted and then finally, what was currently plaguing Iceland was the Spanish Flu which was wreaking massive havoc and death. But we pulled through, despite all of that and those who showed up refused to let all that hold them down. And still to this day, we cherish our sovereignty and I hope that we will continue doing so for the next hundreds if not thousands of years~
