Welcome Polar Bear! You have any pictures you want to share? We have a couple other folks from Iceland as well. Just keep a close eye on those guys from Norway!

A couple years ago, on the Discovery Channel, I saw a Big Hydro electric dam being built to supply electricity for Renolds Aluminum. It was just the beginning of the project. I remember it being very remote. They had a huge Man Camp. Did it ever get finished? Do you know what I'm talking about? I've kept an eye out for information but haven't ran across anything.

Great Pictures Polar Bear. Thanks for the information. I'll check out the site. You don't see many of these type jobs anymore because of all the hoops that have to be cleared. Then the years and years of lawsuits filed by the environmentalists.
