Iceland will feature prominently in Sunday’s episode of The Simpsons entitled “The Saga Of Carl”… 🙂 When Homer and his buddies win the lottery in Springfield, Carl takes off to Iceland with the winnings, and they all end up in an adventure with appearances by the Northern Lights, elves, dwarves, and even Sigur Ros. This isn’t the first time Iceland has been mentioned on The Simpsons, apparently Matt Groening has been just as enchanted as the rest of us 🙂

“Einnig hafa verið birt nokkur sýnishorn úr þættinum á YouTube. Þau má sjá hér fyrir neðan. Af þeim má ætla að norðurljósin, álfar og dvergar koma eitthvað við sögu. Áður hefur verið greint frá því að hljómsveitinni Sigur Rós bregði fyrir í þættinum auk þess sem hún var fengin til að semja tónlist fyrir þáttinn.”
“Some clips of the episode have also been published on YouTube. They can be viewed below. From them one can assume that the Northern Lights, elves and dwarves are a part of the story.
