The 16th SSAC meeting in Reykjavik, August 19 - 21, 1999

The Reykjavik meeting was a great success - everything but the weather. But who cares about the weather when the place is full of good friends and good cheer and there is a fantastic meeting going on, a meeting with lively discussions, excellent presentations and posters. The lunch outing in the Icelandic tradition with hot baths and waterslides added to the wellbeing of everyone.

All of us thank the organizers Haraldur Briem, Karl G. Kristinsson, Sigurdur B. Thorsteinsson and Sigurdur Gudmundsson, most of whom you can see on the following pictures:
