The Supreme Court of Iceland has been asked by a group to rule on the road's cultural and environmental impact, including the plight of the elves. ;)

Andri Snaer Magnason, an environmentalist, told the Associated Press that his major concern was that the road would cut a lava field in two and destroy animal nesting sites.

“Some feel that the elf thing is a bit annoying,” said Magnason, adding that personally he was not sure they existed.

Is his real name Sandyman? Seems a bit smug and elf-satisfied to me. ;)

I wonder - if you manage to take a photo of an elf, is it called an "elfie"? And do elves take photos of themselves - elfie selfies?

And if they don't include other of their kin in their pictures, are they being rude and 'elfish'?
