    Iceland’s independence didn’t happen on June 17. It is just celebrated on that day. Great fun day in Iceland for sure!

    “Iceland’s National Day, June 17, is celebrated every year to commemorate the establishment of a republic in Iceland in 1944. Before that time, however, the day also had a place in the hearts of Icelanders, because June 17 was Jón Sigurðsson’s birthday (1811-1879), Iceland’s main hero of independence. The day was chosen as a national holiday to honour his contribution to the Icelandic struggle for independence from Denmark.” https://visitreykjavik.is/national-day-iceland

            Ah good point. I didn’t check the file format. Figured you’d see it though, so cheers ✌🏼

              no, the file is good; the bot is at fault here. it’s getting confused by the .svg bit. the bot uses a big RegEx to detect valid images, and it’s probably failing to match due to the extra dot.
              EDIT: alright, It should be fixed now
