The Switzerland-Iceland Association (Association Suisse-Islande) was founded
in 1988 in Geneva (Switzerland) by Léonard Pierre Closuit. Sent in 1978 to
Iceland by the Botanical Garden of Geneva, Closuit fell in love with Iceland and
founded an association "to promote cultural and artistic exchanges between the
two countries". On 25 October 2008, the association held its 19th General
Assembly in Martigny (Valais, Switzerland). Reporting the event on 27 October
2008, the newspaper "Le Nouvelliste" shows a photograph of the board members of
the association, with the association's flag hanging on the wall. The flag is a
combination of the symbols of the two countries. The perspective does not allow
to restore the specification of the flag, which appears to be made of an
Icelandic flag with the cross centered and a Swiss "cross" superimposed in the
middle. The Swiss "cross" is indeed disk-shaped, even if the disk seems to have
been "cut" along the outer edges of the cross arms.
