{{ICELANDICDATE}} gives the date in the Icelandic calendar. The individual units of time are returned by {{ICELANDICDATE/year}}, {{ICELANDICDATE/season}}, {{ICELANDICDATE/week}}, {{ICELANDICDATE/weekday}}, {{ICELANDICDATE/month}} and {{ICELANDICDATE/day}}. The year, month and day can be given as parameters, but if not, they will default to the current date in UTC. The algorithms to derive the date are taken from the fourth edition of Calendrical Calculations by Nachum Dershowitz and Edward Reingold.
