Iceland’s Mountain Factory
Kristín Helga Gunnarsdóttir
Seven new graduates from a mountaineering academy in the south-east of Iceland, all with different plans for the future, are sharing a lift back towards Reykjavík when they are driven by a fierce storm to take refuge in an old Nissen hut close to the glacial lagoon of Jökulsárlón.
There they decide to set up Iceland’s Mountain Factory – a free state dedicated to nature, sustainability, contentment and the fight against the destruction of the planet. They knit and brew, they go dumpster diving, they cook, they love and dream.
Individually, the members of the group approach the project on their own terms, but sharing a thirst for adventure and quest for security. They also, however, belong to a wider community – this cannot be denied, and it leads to conflicts of opinion.
One of the girls in the group, Emma, has already made a name for herself as an environmental activist and influencer. She regularly streams the message of the Mountain Factory live online, and has accumulated an expanding number of followers around the world.
The day that Emma is found lifeless, floating in a kayak on the lagoon, everything changes.
