ICELAND. 2007. In September, farmers and villagers all over Iceland gather for sheep and horse roundups (RŽttir). They herd the animals into a circular pen system, where the local animalowners and various townspeople help eachother separate the animals among the owners.

The roundups are a significant event in the yearly calendars of all of rural Iceland, and are often accompanied by festivities.

This roundup in Skagi peninsula is called SkrapatungurŽtt, and included both sheep, and horses.
