Let's make this birthday one to remember.

62 years old (Born on August 27, 1962)

Happy birthday, Sjón! From charming whales to hunting blue foxes—no Icelandic beast or bewildering narrative is safe from your brilliant imagination. It's clear you've seen it all (or at least enough to captivate us thoroughly). Your poetry and novels continue making magical waves; who knew whale-mouth storytelling could be so enchanting?

On this special day, we wish you endless inspiration—and perhaps fewer questionable encounters with mythical creatures. Keep delighting readers worldwide by weaving the mysterious strands of Nordic folklore into lyrical genius that only you can create. May your next adventure exceed even Björk-level coolness! Cheers!
