Alerts & warnings

Strong Wind on Snæfellsnes Today!

Strong wind gusts are expected on the northern face of Snæfellsnes peninsula (from Hellissandur to Búðardalur) today! Use caution and slow down.

Svínafellsjökull Glacier!

Civil Protection advises against travel on Svínafellsjökull due to landslide danger and guided tours on the glacier are discouraged. Travelers are advised to stop only for a short while at viewpoints by the glacier tongue.

Laugavegur Hike!

Large portions from Landmannalaugar to Álftavatn are still snow-covered, the hike is therefore more challenging and takes more time. Warm, waterproof clothes and good hiking boots necessary!

Askja

Smaller 4×4 (Jimny, Rav 4 or similar) advised to avoid F88 due to 50 cm depth in Lindaá river. F905 and F910 from Möðrudalur to Askja recommended instead!
