Snow layers and snow cover
A snowpit in Bláfjöll shows a thin layer of new snow on top of moist older snow. The snow was stable, but the snow cover can be less stable in steeper slopes in confined gullies. New snow is expected in the next few days, increasing the chance of avalanches, especially in easterly and southerly facing slopes.
Recent avalanches
