That's great! Another opportunity to strengthen the ties between the Nordic / Scandinavian countries. I've been to Iceland this summer - an experience I won't forget for the rest of my life. Breathtaking scenery and the nature is so wonderful. Having seen the pictures of the King and Queen's tour to Greenland I suspect the landscape might be very similar!
 
Look forward. Iceland was a worthy candidate (along with Finland) to be the first incoming state visit of the reign.

For clarification: the current president is the second female president of Iceland, so it would be her spouse that is joining her.
 
Very exciting. First incoming State Visit for Frederik and Mary. And the close ties with Iceland can only grow.
 
An additional entry for the State Visit has been added for October 10th - The King and Queen bid farewell to the President of Iceland and her husband at Christian VII's Palace. Amalienborg, at 09.15.

 
Would be cool if CP Christian attend the State Banquet
As it has already been announced that he will be in Africa from early September, until christmas - i strongly doubt he will return to Denmark before that, unless there is a family emergency of some kind…
 
Here's a live link for the start of the state visit today, October 8:

(Looks like a lovely day for the start of the visit but must be a tad on the chilly side)
