Avalanche bulletin
Avalanche conditions
Considerable amount of new snow has been added in the north half of Iceland, from the Westfjord to the Eastfjords, but very little new snow in the south parts. Snow has accumulated in south-facing slopes in the north blizzard and snow drift. An uncertainty phase due to avalanche danger was put in affect in north Iceland on January 19th and in the Westfjords on the 22nd. Many avalanches have been reported in north Iceland and in the Westfjords, which is indicative of a persistent weak layer. Although wind and precipitation is reducing on Sunday and Monday then it is likely that weak layers will still be present in the snow pack and travellers in steep terrain could trigger avalanches.
