Programme 21 - Where We At with Magnus Bergsson (Eyrar, Southeast Iceland)
With 2020 affecting a drop in tourism, field recordist Magnús has been able to make pristine recordings of near silence in the natural wonder of Iceland’s wilderness. Here, we are able to listen to the sounds of various plovers, geese, sandpipers, and more.
But while the sound may appear tranquil, it also bears significance as a time capsule for a changing environment. Climate change has caused the nearby centuries-old glacial rivers to disappear within the last few years, and in their place a mixture of moss, grass, and trees have appeared, and the biodiversity of this region is changing fast.
