中文注释：

冰岛的赫马岛上的韦斯文尼查(Vestmannaeyjar)镇，露营者们正在等待一个纷乱的国庆节庆祝活动开始。这个为期三天的户外节日在每年八月的第一个周末举行，起始于1874年，当时的恶劣天气使得当地居民无法奔赴大陆庆祝冰岛成为共和国。于是他们就自己举办了庆祝活动，并一直延续至今。

英文注释：

Tent Field, Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland, 1999

Campers await the start of a raucous national day festival in the town of Vestmannaeyjar on Iceland's Heimaey Island.

Held every year on the first weekend in August, this three-day outdoor festival began in 1874, when bad weather kept residents from traveling to the mainland to celebrate Iceland's new status as a republic. They held a celebration of their own, and the rest is history. Festivities now include live music, fireworks, and an enormous bonfire.
