An orienteering map in Iceland!

Mary and I are planning a trip to Iceland and we've done some poking around trying to find out if there is any orienteering in Iceland. We hadn't had any luck...until today.

Mary was looking at the 1/2004 issue of O-Sport (back in the days when Martin Gregor was the editor) that includes an interview with Perola Olsson. Olsson is a mapper and accompanying the interview was the clip of a map in Iceland. Sweet!

Now what I need to do is get in touch with Perola Olsson. So, if anyone knows how to contact Olsson, please let me know.

I think Perola lives in Hong Kong. Donno how to contact him, but there might be some o-homepages there you may search.

Why does it all appear to be out-of-bounds? Or is it all fight or something?

You can try also over Peo Bengtsson (www.wwop.se), because WWOP is a sponsor of those maps. Peo and Perola could have also some contacts in Iceland - at O-ringen clinics 1999 was somebody from Iceland.
