Remarks of a specialist

Along with increasing temperatures in the eastern part of the country, water levels can be expected to rise in glacial rivers due to melting for the coming days. Additionally, increased water levels in rivers in the western part of the country can also be expected due to precipitation.

Due to malfunction we have turned off the service publishing hydrological data on the map. Instead see the data using our Rauntímavöktunarkerfi.

Sea ice around Iceland

Ice in the ocean around Iceland has mostly arrived from afar.

It comes here from the Denmark strait, which connects the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean, between Iceland and Greenland. Sometimes the ice comes directly from north to the northeast corner of Iceland, but all the ice comes from the same source: the East-Greenland current which flows from the Arctic Ocean due south along the east coast of Greenland, passing northwest Iceland.
