Upon arrival, Princess Benedikte was welcomed by Director of North Atlantic Wharf Karin Elsubudóttir Heinesen and National Coordinator of The Olave Baden-Powell Society Marianne Karstensen. Through posters, photographs and film clips, Vigdís Finnbogadóttir's life and work as president and her efforts for increased dialogue and cooperation across borders and peoples are displayed.
