Edited by: RaTTuS on 04/07/2011 11:34:23 Elves .... The good burghers of the Icelandic town of Bolungarvik have intervened to prevent further action by elves who are evidently unhappy they weren't consulted about the construction of an anti-avalanche barrier.
Bolungarvik recently suffered a bombardment of rocks during "routine dynamiting" on the barrier, with fist-sized missiles causing damage to several properties.
This led locals to suspect the hulduf=lk (hidden people) had finally got a bit miffed with civil engineering projects, including the construction last year of a road tunnel through a hill.
Icelandic folklore advises caution when venturing into possible hulduf=lk territory, and disturbing the rocks in which they're believed to live.
Bolungarvik's council rejected calls by "seers" to apologise to the Little People for the disruption, claiming there was a perfectly logical explanation for the dynamite mishap.
The townsfolk responded last week by organising an impromptu appeasement ceremony at the blasting site, offering song and prayers in the hope of restoring peace between humans and hulduf=lk.
Local musician Benedikt Sigurdsson explained: ôI have now been asked by both elves and men to broker a compromise here, and I hope that this song will suffice." «

I am sure someone else will dig out the Vanity Fair article which mentions the elves in conjunction with an aluminium smelting plant. The whole site had to be surveyed for them apparently.
