SKAGASTRÖND YEE-HAW
BEN KINSLEY (2008)

Skagaströnd is a town in northern Iceland near the Húnaflói fjord with a population of approximately 650. It is known as the "country music capital of Iceland" as it is home of Hallbjörn Hjartarson (AKA "The Country King") who runs a country music radio station (96.7 FM), an annual country music festival, and a log-cabin style Kántrýbær.

On Saturday, September 27th Ben invited the residents of Skagaströnd to participate in an all-town "Yee-Haw." Around 40 people showed up and gave it their all.

The video was subsequently embedded in Google Maps and Google Earth and can be viewed "in context" in its actual geographic coordinates. See it in Google Maps HERE (click on the blue place-marker).
